Curfew was on Friday extended to several areas of Kashmir to foil a planned march by separatists to Eidgah in old city area as normal life continued to remain paralysed for the 49th consecutive day in the Valley.
The curfew was put into effect in the wake of protests following the killing of Hizbul Mujahideen militant Burhan Wani in July.
Official sources said that curfew has been extended to entire Srinagar district, Pulwama district and south Kashmir towns of Shopian and Anantnag.
They said north Kashmir towns of Baramulla, Pattan and Handwara were also placed under curfew while restrictions on assembly of people were in force in rest of the Valley.
Meanwhile, normal life remained paralysed for the 49th consecutive day due to curfew, restrictions and separatist sponsored strike.
Shops, private offices, educational institutions and petrol pumps remained closed while public transport continued to be off roads.
The attendance in government offices and banks was also affected, sources said.
Mobile Internet also continued to remain suspended in the Valley, where the outgoing facility on prepaid mobiles remained barred.
