"Prohibitory orders under section 144 continue to remain in force in Srinagar city," he added.

Curfew had to be re-imposed in Srinagar on Wednesday after senior separatist leaders, Syed Ali Geelani and Mirwaiz Umer Farooq defied house arrest and took to the streets.

They were both arrested and placed under house arrest.

Separatists had called for a march in Kulgam district which was foiled by the authorities.
