Srinagar: Authorities Friday imposed restrictions in parts of Srinagar’s old city including Nowhatta, housing the historic Jamia Masjid.

Reports said that barricades have been erected at several places and people are not being allowed to move.

The barricades and concertina wires have been spread across the roada at Hawal, Gojwara, Nowhatta, Khaniyar and adjoining areas.

A police officer said that restrictions have been imposed as precautionary measure to prevent any “law and order situation.”
