Srinagar: Restrictions on the movement and assembly of people in Kashmir to contain the spread of coronavirus were tightened on Friday in view of congregational prayers, officials said.
The congregational prayers were not held at most mosques of the valley last Friday as various religious organisations appealed the people to offer prayers at home.
Main roads in the valley have been sealed off and barriers erected at several places by security forces to check the unwanted movement of the people and to enforce the lockdown on Friday, the officials said.
The markets across the valley were shut and public transport was off the roads with only pharmacies and groceries allowed to open, they said. (PTI)
