There have been protests in Srinagar as Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh starts his two-day visit to Jammu and Kashmir today.

The separatist groups have called for a bandh against the PM's visit in Srinagar.

The protests, lead by one independent MLA, are against the recent fake encounter case in the valley. Around a 100 of his supporters have been arrested.

The PM is scheduled to review developmental programmes in the state and also preside over a convocation ceremony.

The visit had raised hopes that the PM would reach out to the separatists and bring them back to the negotiating table, but J&K Chief Minister Omar Abdullah said there are no talks with separatists scheduled on Dr Singh's agenda.
