 “We missed our flights as police and CRPF did not allow us to travel to the Airport,” said a group of tourists.
 People in various areas of the summer capital particularly Shaher-e-Khaas faced inconvenience due to shortage of essential items. “Due to curfew we could not purchase essential items and medicine,” said Ghulam Muhammad of Khanyar locality in Shaher-e-Khaas.
