Srinagar- Restrictions on assembly of people remained in force in most parts of Kashmir Valley after the death of veteran Kashmiri leader leader Syed Ali Shah Geelani, officials said.
Geelani, 91, died at his home in Srinagar on Wednesday night after a prolonged illness. He was buried at graveyard near his residence in Hyderpora area of Srinagar.
Following his death, restrictions were imposed in the Valley as a precautionary measure.
