Srinagar: Restrictions in parts of Srinagar continued for the second day today in view of a strike called by separatists against the recent anti-militancy operations conducted by security forces in the valley.
Restrictions in eight police station areas continued for the second day today, a police official said.
He said the curbs were in force in Khanyar, M R Gunj, Nowahtta, Rainawari, Safakadal, Maisuma, Kralkhud and Parimpora police station areas of the city.
The restrictions were imposed as a preventive measure to maintain law and order in view of the strike called by the separatists.
The restrictions were first imposed yesterday in the wake of killing of a militant in a shootout with police in the outskirts of the city on Friday.
Three militants travelling in a car opened fire on a police team at the Zakura crossing on Srinagar-Ganderbal road, killing sub-inspector Imran Tak and injuring a special police officer (SPO) on Friday evening.
