Curfew imposed in valley after Hurriyat leader's arrest

Curfew was imposed in Srinagar and other major towns of the Kashmir Valley to prevent violence, a day after the arrest of hardline Hurriyat leader Masarat Alam. Alam, chief of the separatist Muslim League, is the general secretary of the hardline faction of the Hurriyat Conference and had been at the forefront of organising protests in the last four months that has seen more than 100 people being killed in Kashmir.
