Authorities have imposed strict restrictions in the north towns of Bandipora, Sumbal, Hajin and Naidkhai, to foil the “Markundal and Kondebal Challo” call given by Hurriyat Conference led by old and ailing, Syed Ali Geelani.
Geelani has called upon people to reach Kondebal and Markundal, to attend the condolence and prayer rallies in favour of Irfan Ganai and Tariq Leherwal, who were allegedly killed by army on Sunday.
