Official sources said Mr Geelani gave this assurance to Deputy Commissioner (DC) and Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP), Srinagar.

A spokesman of the HC Ayaz Akbar told UNI that the DC and SSP called on Mr Geelani at his Hyderpora residence this afternoon.

He said they discussed about tomorrow's UNMO march with Mr Geelani.

Mr Akbar said they wanted to know about the programme and route of the march besides other arrangements for the march.
