Srinagar : Authorities Monday booked former Mirwaiz south Kashmir Qazi Yasir and Tehreek-e-Hurriyat leader Aashiq Hussain Narchoor under controversial Public Safety Act (PSA).

Narchoor was also slapped with PSA and lodged in Hira Nagar jail ahead of fourth phase of urban local bodies elections scheduled to be held on Tuesday.
