The shutdown has been called by traders, transport operators and industrialists.
On September 7, 2014, the Kashmir Valley was affected by unprecedented floods and almost the entire civil lines areas and commercial hubs of Srinagar city were submerged in flood waters that took over a month to drain out.
Authorities placed senior separatist leaders, including Syed Ali Geelani, Muhammad Yasin Malik and Mirwaiz Umer Farooq, under house arrest in Srinagar city to prevent their participation in the protest march proposed by the various traders' organisations.
Although authorities did not impose official restrictions in any part of Srinagar city, heavy presence of police and paramilitary central reserve police force was seen in both old and uptown areas.
Kashmir University ordered cancellation of all exams scheduled for the day.
