Srinagar, Feb 2: Curfew-like restrictions have been imposed on Friday in the Shehar-e-Khas
(SeK), downtown and parts of old city and civil lines in summer capital, Srinagar
to prevent any law and order problem following “ Shopian Chalo” called by
separatists against the civilian killings in security force firing in south
Kashmir.
All main gates of historic Jamia Masjid, stronghold of
moderate Hurriyat Conference (HC) chairman Mirwaiz Moulvi Omar Farooq, were
again closed. Large number of security forces and state police personnel had
been deployed outside the historic worship place.
The Joint Resistance Leadership (JRL), comprising separatists Syed Ali Shah Geelani, Mirwaiz Omar and Yasin Malik, has given Shopian challo to offer Friday prayers in a Jamia Masjid there before holding a rally against the civilian death. However, Mr Geelani and the Mirwaiz are already under house arrest while Mr Malik has gone underground to evade arrest.
Police said restrictions under Section 144 CrPC have been imposed within the territorial jurisdictions of Khanyar, Rainawari, Nowhatta, Safakadal and MR Gunj police stations of the district on Friday.'Partial restrictions within the territorial jurisdictions of Maisuma in the civil lines and Kralkhud in the old city police stations of the district have also been imposed since this morning,'. The restrictions have been imposed as a precautionary measure to avoid any untoward incident, police said.
However, situation on the ground was entirely different as people in restricted areas were being directed to remain indoors as curfew has been imposed since early this morning. The road to S K Institute of Medical Sciences (SKIMS) passing through downtown areas of Nawa Kadal, Safa Kadal and Eidgah was however, open though only patients and paramedical staff and ambulances were being allowed after their property checking.
Initially there were no restrictions in the morning though security forces and state police personnel have been deployed to prevent any untoward incident since early this morning.
However, as the day progressed all main and interior roads were closed with barbed wire and by parking bullet proof vehicles in the middle to prevent any pedestrian and vehicular movement. UNI
