Srinagar, Oct 21 :The main opposition National Conference (NC) on Saturday organised a protest march against braid chopping in summer capital, Srinagar, where life remained crippled due to separatist sponsored strike.
The separatists had also called for a general strike on Saturday against the braid chopping incidents while authorities had imposed restrictions in the areas under seven police stations in the down town, Shehar-e-Khas and parts of civil lines to prevent any law and order problem.
Led by senior leaders, including General Secretary Ali Mohammad Sagar and number of former ministers, the NC activists, including women, assembled at party headquarter at Nawai Subh.
Later the NC leaders and activists, holding placards, took out a procession and marched towards civil lines.
However, when they reached near Polo View, they were stopped by security forces and state police already deployed there.
