A PDP leader said that Mehbooba was scheduled to visit Seer area of Tral Payeen but district administration did not allow her and policemen from police station Ram Munshibagh locked the main gate of her residence and placed a mobile banker at the main gate.
She said: “I wanted to visit Seer, Tral where people allege that forces are creating havoc, ransacking homes , beating villagers mercilessly. But I have not been allowed to go there, so it seems the Government has a lot to hide so they have put me under house arrest.”
However, police said Mehbooba has been requested to avoid visiting Tral due to security reasons by SP Awantipora and DIG South Kashmir.
