Three days after the clashes, Handwara continues to remain tense. Curfew-like restrictions continued on Friday in parts of Kashmir following the death of four persons. Mobile Internet services also remained affected across the Valley.
A National Conference delegation was stopped by police while it was enroute Handwara. NC Leader Ali Mohammad Sagar was leading the delegation when it was stopped midway.
Strict restrictions have been imposed in Kupwara town, Kralgund, Handwara, Magam and Langate areas in north Kashmir to maintain law and order.
Restrictions also continued in some police station areas of Srinagar city where sporadic incidents of stone-pelting were reported through the day yesterday, the official said. He said the affected police station areas include Maharajgunj, Khanyar, Nowhatta, Rainawari and Maisuma.
The city centre Lal Chowk has also been kept out of bounds as concertina wires have been put at many places to block the roads, he said, adding security forces have been deployed in strength in other areas to maintain law and order.
Even though there is no strike call by any separatist group, people observed spontaneous shutdown in most district headquarters of the Valley, the official said.
Markets remained closed while most of the public transport was off the roads.
