Additional forces would be pressed to thwart the march to Muzaffarabad as planned and supported by the separatists in Kashmir. This was also indicated by Home Minister Shivraj Patil, who concluded his two-day visit along with the all-party delegation.
Sources said the deployment of police and paramilitary personnel had been increased in north Kashmir. Some separatist leaders have also been placed under house arrest.

Separatists plan march to POK
The separatists in Kashmir valley today threatened to go to Muzaffarabad in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir to sell their produce. They said, "Our fruit is rotting due to economic blockade of the valley by Jammu agitators.
We are forced to find alternative route to take our fruits to various markets. Possibly through Srinagar-Muzaffarabad road," chairman of hardline faction of Hurriyat Conference Syed Ali Shah Geelani told reporters here. Geelani, speaking after two-day long parleys among various separatist groups, traders, manufacturers, fruit growers and transporters, said it was decided at the coordination committee meeting that fruit growers will proceed to Muzaffarabad on August 11.

Separatists under house arrest
Authorities put several separatist leaders under house arrest on Friday even as a complete shutdown crippled life here. Separatist leaders, Syed Ali Shah Geelani, Mirwaiz Umer Farooq and Shabir Ahmad Shah were put under house arrest to prevent their proposed march to the headquarters of the United Nations Military Observers Group (UNMOG) in the vally.
The separatist leaders had announced their march to the headquarters of UNMOG to present a memorandum against the alleged economic blockade of the Kashmir valley and the harassment of the minority Muslim community in the Jammu region.
Another separatist and chairman of the Jammu and Kashmir Liberation front (JKLF) Muhammad Yasin Malik is in the intensive care unit of Soura Medical Institute in Shrinagar after his condition deteriorated Thursday morning. Doctors attending on him said his condition was now stable.
All markets, educational institutions, banks and public transport remained closed here on Friday. Attendance in government offices was thin because of the non-availability of public transport in the city.
