A shutdown was observed in the Jammu region on August 26 to oppose multiple moves of the government, which include setting up of a toll plaza at Sarore, installing smart meters and imposing property tax.
The shutdown call was issued by the Chamber of Commerce and Industries - Jammu following a series of street protests and sit-ins organised by the Yuva Rajput Sabha (YRS) against the Sarore Toll Plaza in Samba district.
The shutdown impacted the normal life in the region, with most markets closing their shopping. There was thin traffic on the roads.
