Normalcy returns to Kashmir after days of unrest

---

SRINAGAR, July 17 (AFP): Schools, shops and offices reopened in Muslim-majority Indian Kashmir Saturday after being shut by weeks of anti-India protests but more closures loomed in the restive region.
The reopening came after calls by separatists to resume "normal" life for a day that sent shoppers flooding into the streets to stockpile supplies ahead of a general strike set for Sunday and more protests in coming days.
The rush of shoppers created traffic jams in downtown Srinagar, an urban hub that has seen a two-decade insurgency against Indian rule.
