Muzaffrabad: Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) On Tuesday an overwhelming Shutter Down and Wheeljam witnessed on the second consecutive day in the midst of flashing scrubs between the agents of the law and activists in the state capital Muzampharabad. The atmosphere was very loaded after the death of a person and injuries to several others one day before.
Although government offices remained open, assistance was thin due to lack of transport. The banks were also open but they barely saw any client. All private companies and stores, including medical stores, remained closed. Even street vendors were not seen anywhere.
The angry young people, some who wear canes, blocked interurban roads in many areas of the state capital until the afternoon by placing different obstacles and torch shrubs.
However, some private vehicles and motorcycles were seen running through the roads sporadically, without facing a serious resistance of the activists.
Upon receiving information about the blockades, the police staff quickly hastened to clear the road obstacles.

According to witnesses, in several of these places they launched tear gas shells to calm the disturbance and also arrested.
In some areas, the law agents also threw themselves with stones from the mountain slopes, forced them to retire to a safe place.
On Tuesday, there were low low reports on both sides, but these could not be verified since government officials refrained from sharing something with the media.
Nor could authentic figures of detainees be obtained.
This correspondent tried to communicate with several senior officials, but his staff said that “they were busy at meetings and could not receive calls.” A senior police officer attended the call after several attempts, but refused to confirm or contradict the number of detainees.
In the afternoon, thousands of people gathered in Lal Chowk of Muzaffarabad, where the leaders of the Awami Action Committee Jammu Cashmira (JKJAAC), including Shaukat Nawaz Mir, went to them.
“A state is like a mother, but unfortunately ours has turned out to be a witch who killed her own children,” Mir said.
On Monday, Muhammad Sudhir, a 30 -year -old merchant who belongs to the Neelum Valley, was killed in Muzampharabad after suffering gunshot wounds.
The JKJAAC claimed that the shots were fired by the participants of a demonstration backed by the Government, led by Raja Saqib Majeed of the Muslim Conference.
On Monday night, relatives and other activists had placed their body in the main artery in Chehla Bandi Negibourhourhood to press the authorities for registering a FIR one against Mr. Majeed and other defendants.
The body was eliminated only after their demands were met.
“We have full recording evidence about who shot the peaceful protesters and whose instances,” Mir said.
Rawalakot’s reports said thousands of people had met at Tourism Chowk, but the police avoided confronting them.
According to local journalists, participants could start a march on Wednesday, either to some entrance points or directly to Muzaffrabad.
In Dadyal, where the tensions had intensified immensely in a similar protest in May last year, thousands of people threw huge containers into the river from the Palaak bridge, where the administration had apparently placed them to block the movement between the district of Kotli and Mirpur.
Affected means
Meanwhile, the absolute suspension of Internet services and mobile phones since Sunday arrived at the journalist community, since no local newspaper could be published for the second consecutive day on Tuesday.
Many of those who work for national and international media, as well as for some of the Vloggers, had to travel to Garhi Habibullah in the neighboring KP, from where they presented their stories and uploaded things on Sunday and Monday.
But on Tuesday it was learned that Internet services had also been broken in Garhi Habibullah, forcing some of the journalists to travel to Mansehra to submit reports.
