Former CM Mehbooba Mufti put under house arrest in Srinagar

Srinagar: Former Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti has been put under house arrest since early Tuesday morning.

Official sources said she has been put under house arrest as a precautionary measure. She was to visit Devsar in south Kashmir today, they said.

'GOI expresses concern for the rights of Afghan people but wilfully denies the same to Kashmiris. Ive been placed under house arrest today because according to admin the situation is far from normal in Kashmir. This exposes their fake claims of normalcy,' Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) president said in a tweet.

The main gate of Fairview residence of Mehbooba has been locked from outside.

The Boulvard has been closed for any civilian traffic movement. (UNI)
