Restrictions Imposed On Friday Lifted From All Parts Of Srinagar

“There are no restrictions on the movement of people in any part of the valley today. Normal activities are being witnessed across Jammu And Kashmir,” a police official said.
Restrictions that were imposed in view of Friday prayers were lifted from all parts of the city on Saturday, but normal life remained affected for the 90th day in Kashmir following the abrogation of provisions of Article 370. “There are no restrictions on the movement of people in any part of the valley today. Normal activities are being witnessed across Kashmir,” a police official said.

While Friday prayers were not allowed in the historic Jamia Masjid in the Nowhatta area for 13th week, Khoj-e-Digar — the special evening prayer held at Naqashband Sahib shrine here — was not allowed on Friday. It was for the first time that Khoj-e-Digar, which is a centuries-old tradition specific to Kashmiri Muslims, was not been offered. The official, however, said the deployment of security forces continues in vulnerable areas of the city and elsewhere in the valley for maintaining law and order.
