The Residency Road stretch between the TRC to Lal Chowk hosts Srinagar’s Sunday market.

It comes a day after a Lashkar-e-Toiba commander, who the police have identified as Usman Lashkari, was killed in an encounter in Srinagar’s Khanyar area. Police said four security personnel — two each from the J&K Police and the CRPF — were injured in the day-long encounter.
