There has been an increased movement of private and public transport, except buses, in uptown Srinagar, including in the commercial hub of Lal Chowk, after the authorities lifted curfew from all parts of the city last week, officials said.
Even as the current agitation is showing signs of fatigue, there are no signs of end to the separatist-sponsored strike which has been extended till October 13.
The separatists have called for a march to the local UN office here tomorrow.
The authorities have not put restrictions on the movement of people anywhere in Kashmir today, but security forces have been deployed to maintain law and order.

There are no restrictions on the movement of people anywhere in the Valley, the officials said, adding the situation is improving with each passing day.
For the past few days, many street vendors and hand cart vendors have set up their stalls along the TRC Chowk-Batamaloo axis in the summer capital here.
The officials said some shopkeepers also keep open their shops in the civil lines areas of Srinagar and at few areas in the outskirts of the city.
Most of the shops and business establishments in these areas were shut.
The government educational institutions at most places were open and teachers were attending their duties, the officials said.
