Most of the shops, business houses, showrooms, and some eateries have also opened in the valley. Hard-hit businesses such as public-transportation, domestic and international flights, tourism sector, hotels, restaurants, trekking, travel and mountaineering businesses and educational institutions will be allowed to come into operation only from August 17.

Peoplemovement has increased in the valley mostly because of these businesses. Similarly, the entertainment sector such as cinema halls, dance bars, clubs,gymnasiums and health clubs will remain shut. Demonstrations, conferences, religious gatherings will also continue to remain shut.
