Srinagar, Feb 10 (IANS) Restrictions were imposed in some areas of Srinagar Tuesday, a day after a youth was killed in police firing in Baramulla district, police said.

Restrictions have been imposed in Khanyar, Rainawari, Nowhatta, M.R. Gunj, Safa Kadal and Maisuma areas of the city.

"The restrictions are preventive measures to maintain law and order...," a senior police officer told IANS here.

Contingents of police and paramilitary Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) have been deployed at these locations and in other major towns of the Kashmir Valley.

Separatist leaders have called for a valley-wide protest shutdown Tuesday.

Reports from Palhalan town, 35 kms from here, indicate high tension in the area as additional security forces were moved in late Monday.
