Srinagar, Feb 3 (IANS): Authorities on Friday placed Huriyat leader Mirwaiz Umar Farooq under house arrest to prevent him from leading a protest march in the city.

The Huriyat Conference (M) Chairman was placed under house arrest in his upscale Nigeen residence.

He was scheduled to lead the march in old city's Nowhatta area.
