The hardline Hurriyat Conference had proposed to take out a march to Palhallan town, 31km from here, where 11 persons have been killed during the four-month long protests.
 
Normal life remained affected in the Valley on account of the general strike called by Geelani-led Hurriyat.
 
Shops, business establishments, private offices, petrol pumps and most of the banks in the commercial hub of Lal Chowk and adjoining areas remained closed due to the strike while public transport remained off the roads.
