Srnagar, Dec 8 (IBNS): A complete shutdown is being observed in Kashmir against the Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to the state on Monday.

Authorities have put all freedom leaders under detention.

According to sources,  4000 thousand personnel have been deployed and around the Shar-e-Kashmir Cricket Stadium.

Security personnel have taken positions and everybody moving towards Lal Chowk is being frisked and questioned at every nook and corner.

Hundreds of barricades and nakas have been erected in and around the city and state police now allow a vehicle ply on MA road or residence
road.

Authorities said that security has been put in place on the Prime Minister's visit to Srinagar in the wake of last Friday's
militant attacks.

Meanwhile, restrictions have also been imposed in five police station areas of Srinagar.

The areas placed under restrictions fall under the jurisdiction of Rainawari, Nowhatta, M.R. Gunj, Khanyar and Safakadal.

Sources in Security agency told IBNS that Narendra Modi is expected to visit the Badami Bagh cantonment headquarters of the Army's 15 corps
