Normal life was paralysed across the Kashmir Valley on Tuesday due to a strike called by a local outfit to protest the CBI report in the Shopian case even as authorities placed top Hurriyat leaders under house arrest as a precautionary measure.

Shops and markets in Srinagar and other major towns of the valley remained closed in response to the strike called by Majlis-e-Mushawarat, Shopian, to protest alleged "shielding of guilty and presenting of chargesheet against innocents" in the case, official sources said.
