Srinagar: Curfew was on Sunday clamped in parts of Srinagar, Kupwara and Kralpora towns and restrictions were imposed on people's movement in Hyderpora and Budgam towns in view of a shutdown call by separatists across the Kashmir Valley.
In Srinagar city, curfew was imposed in several areas under seven police stations -- Nowhatta, Khanyar, Rainawari, Safakadal, M R Gunj, Bemina and Qammerwari, police said.
They said curfew will also remain in force in Kupwara and Kralpora towns of north Kashmir, while restrictions have been imposed in Hyderpora and Budgam towns in central Kashmir.
