The unrest in Kashmir has so far shown no signs of simmering down despite continuous attempts by the Centre and the state government, as the curfew still remains in most parts of the valley entering its 62nd day.
Here is a chronological order of the unrest in the valley since the killing of Hizbul Mujahideen commander Burhan Wani by the security forces on July 8.
July 8th
The security forces killed Burhan Wani, a militant commander of Hizbul Mujahideen, which led to a cycle of violence in the valley that claimed around 100 lives and left more than thousands, including security forces, injured.
Hundreds of people assembled in Tral, Wani's hometown, to participate in his funeral prayers. Several others performed his funeral in absentia in south, central and northern Kashmir.
Hurriyat chairman Syed Ali Shah Geelani and Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front chairman Yasin Malik, Asiya Andrabi and Mirwaiz Umar Farooq called for a three-day Kashmir shutdown to protest against the killing.
