On Monday, commuters in the Kashmir Valley faced severe disruptions due to a transport strike organized by the All Jammu and Kashmir Transporters' Welfare Association. The strike was in response to the government's proposal to expand Smart City bus services into other districts, which transporters believe may threaten their livelihoods. As a result, private buses and inter-district cabs did not operate across the Valley, leading to significant inconvenience for travelers. However, auto-rickshaws and government-operated buses continued their services as usual, providing some options for commuters during the protest.
