Authorities imposed restrictions in Srinagar and some other parts of the Kashmir Valley on Sunday to prevent separatist-called protests to mark the 34th death anniversary of Maqbool Bhat, founder of the Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF). Bhat was hanged on February 11, 1984, in Tihar Jail. Besides Srinagar, restrictions were imposed in north Kashmir's Kupwara district and Sopore town.
