SRINAGAR: Curfew-like restrictions were today imposed in Budgam town of central Kashmir in view of apprehensions of law and order problems on the death anniversary of National Conference MLA Aga Roohullah’s father, Aga Syed Mehdi.
Restrictions were imposed in Budgam town, 15 kms from here, and adjoining areas as a precautionary measure due to apprehension of law and order problem, a police official said.
The official refused to elaborate on the nature of apprehensions.
However, sources said the authorities were apprehensive that the function organised by the NC MLA could lead to clashes between his supporters and those of separatist leader Aga Syed Hassan.
Roohullah, who was married to Hassan’s daughter, divorced her couple of years ago.
Hassan is president of the Anjuman-e-Shari-e-Shian, a powerful political outfit of the Shias and a constituent of Hurriyat Conference. (AGENCIES)
