Jammu, Dec 28: The shutdown against a proposed ropeway project in the Trikuta hills of Reasi district entered its fourth day on Saturday, with protesters continuing a hunger strike for the release of several people detained by police in Katra.
The Jammu Chamber of Commerce and Industries has extended its support to the Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Sangharsh Samiti and urged the administration to resolve the issue with talks.
All shops, restaurants, and business establishments have been shut since Wednesday. The bandh has disrupted normal life in one of the busiest towns in the country, where thousands of pilgrims arrive every day to pray at the Mata Vaishno Devi cave shrine.
