Curfew imposed in IOK to quell protests

SRINAGAR: A curfew has been imposed in Indian-occupied Kashmir following a protest call by Kashmiri leaders on Friday. Moreover, section 144 of the Code of Criminal Procedure has been imposed in different districts of Kashmir Valley including Anantnag, Shopian, Pulwama, Kulgam, Baramulla, Badgam, Ganderbal, Bandipora and Kupwara.
