Eywitnesses told The Kashmiriyat that dozens of youth who tried to take out a procession near Jahangir Chowk were stopped and taken into detention.
They said that the Police used force against the youth to prevent them from marching ahead.
Meanwhile restrictions have been imposed in several areas of Srinagar to prevent any Muharram processions in the capital city.
Officials said that restrictions have been imposed in TRC, Dalgate, Maisuma, Abi Guzar, Dalgate, Gaw Kadal, Budshah bridge, and Kralkhud areas of Srinagar.
