Authorities on Sunday refused to allow the People's Democratic Party's youth convention and its president and former chief minister Mehbooba Mufti was placed under house arrest in Srinagar.

According to sources, the district magistrate of Srinagar has not allowed the youth conference to be held by PDP at Mehbooba Mufti's Gupkar Road residence on Sunday.

Sources said that in view of the recent increase in Corona cases in Srinagar district and restrictions on large gatherings, the district magistrate decided not to allow the PDP youth conference.

Sources also said that Mufti has been placed under house arrest at his Gupkar Road residence in the city. Meanwhile, Mehbooba Mufti alleged that the Jammu and Kashmir government was pushing the youth towards violence.

An order issued by Executive Magistrate First Class South Srinagar, citing SSP Srinagar's report and quid restrictions, directed SHO Ram Manshi Bagh to visit PDP at Fairview Guest House Gupkar. Do not allow default youth conventions.

All roads leading to Gupkar have been sealed off to thwart the party's youth convention, the news agency KNO quoted PDP spokesman Najam al-Thaqib as saying.
