Kashmiri strike continues for second day
Businesses and public sector offices remain closed on the second day of a strike in Indian-administered Kashmir.
The strike was called by India's ruling BJP party and the hardline group Vishwa Hindu Parishad VHP in protest at last Saturday's militant attack on a Hindu temple. At least 10 people were killed and 20 others injured in the incident. Schools and colleges also remained closed and strict security measures have been put in place to maintain order.
