Srinagar: To prevent a Jalsa rally called by the Joint Resistance Leadership (JRL), authorities on Friday impose restrictions in many parts of Srinagar and Anantnag districts.
“Restrictions have been imposed under section 144 CrPc in Anantnag and six police stations areas of Srinagar district to maintain law and order,” a police officer said.
“Restrictions will remain in force in areas falling under the jurisdiction of Rainawari, Nowhatta, M.R. Gunj, Safa Kadal and partially in Maisuma and Kralkhud police stations in Srinagar,” the police officer said.
The Joint Resistance Leadership (JRL), a conglomerate headed by Syed Ali Geelani, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq and Muhammad Yasin Malik, have called for a rally in south Kashmir’s Anantnag town to “express solidarity with the residents”.
Police have arrested some separatist leaders to prevent their participation in the scheduled protest rally.
