Authoritiesu00a0today imposed curfew-like restrictions in Jammu and Kashmir's summer capital to foil the separatists' call for a Shopian march today.

Before his arrest on Saturday, hardline separatist leader Syed Ali Geelani had asked the people to resume their normal activities from Tuesday and called for a march Monday to Shopian town - where two women were raped and killed on May 30 - to "express sympathies with the family".

Authorities moved reinforcements of police and paramilitary Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) into the capital city to foil the separatist attempts to march to Shopian.
