The authorities today imposed restrictions in most parts of the old city here to foil the separatists' plan of staging protests against the braid- chopping incidents in Kashmir.
According to the Srinagar district magistrate, restrictions under section 144, CrPC were imposed within the police station limits of Nowhatta, Khanyar, Rainawari, M R Guj, Safakadal and partially in Kralkhud and Maisuma.
The restrictions were imposed as a precautionary measure to avoid any untoward incident, he said.
A police official said there was no major untoward incident reported from anywhere in the Valley during the day.
The separatist groups have called for peaceful protests against the braid-chopping incidents in the Valley, which have created a fear psychosis, especially among the women.
As the authorities foiled the separatists' plan today, the latter have called for a general strike tomorrow across the state against these attacks on women.
