Restrictions continued in the interior parts of Srinagar

The curbs were imposed as a precautionary measure to maintain law and order in view of "Hafta-e-Shahadat" or the martyrs' week programme of the moderate Hurriyat Conference led by Mirwaiz Umar Farooq. It was for the second consecutive day that parts of the city were under restrictions. Yesterday, authorities imposed restrictions in seven police station areas here in view of a strike called by separatists demanding resolution of Kashmir issue.
