The situation in the valley was tense on Saturday afternoon as thousands gathered for the funeral of Burhan Muzzafar Wani to be held at Eidgah in Tral town of Jammu & Kashmir.
Wani, the posterboy and guerilla of the Hizbul Mujahideen in J&K was gunned down by security forces along with his two accomplices in an encounter on Friday.
Reports suggest that many more are expected to reach the funeral as they are making detours to reach Tral in spite of restrictions by security forces against huge assemblies.
Some separatist leaders also made attempts to reach Tral to address gatherings but they could not get through the tight security.
Earlier, stone pelting was reported in Pulwama area of J&K even as a curfew-like situation prevailed across the valley.
