BJP and National Conference workers held simultaneous protests in Srinagar on Wednesday, leading to police cordoning off key areas of the city. The BJP staged a 'Secretariat Gherao' to protest against the National Conference government regarding recruitment policies and power tariffs. Simultaneously, the National Conference attempted to march toward BJP offices to demand accountability for central government promises. PDP president Mehbooba Mufti characterized the events as a fixed match, alleging that police facilitated the BJP's protest while restricting the National Conference. Police stopped the National Conference march at Rajbagh, preventing them from reaching the BJP office in Jawahar Nagar.
