The Jammu-Kashmir Coordination Committee, a new alliance of Muslim separatists and representatives of businesses and lawyers, plans a huge rally on Monday in Lal Chowk (Red Square) in the heart of Srinagar. "Please cooperate with authorities," Kashmir's senior official, Anil Goswami, appealed to strife-weary Kashmiris on state-owned Doordarshan television. "If you violate curfew security forces will respond." The government has announced a ban on public meetings of five or more people for one month to thwart any protest rally. But separatists said they would defy ban and go ahead with a rally on Monday. Police said they have detained Yasin Malik, another senior separatist leader, who has led a series of anti-India demonstrations in the past two months. 
The recent protests were sparked by a decision to grant land for shelters for Hindu pilgrims travelling to mostly-Muslim Kashmir, one of the world's most militarised zones. Violence involving Indian troops and separatist guerrillas has declined significantly since India and Pakistan, which both claim the region, began a slow-moving peace process in 2004.
