You need to distinguish between harmonic (position) restraints, which
keep atoms from moving very far from their intial conditions (ntr=1)

and

internal restraints, which keep certain bond lengths, angles, etc. near
prescribed values (intr=1).

You have requested ntr=1 (and by default, intr=0) in your input file,
hence asking for harmonic restraints but not for internal restraints.

However, the remainder of your input is that for internal restraints (intr>0).

You should be able to fix things by
(a) changing "ntr=1" to "intr=1" in the namelist;
(b) removing the card that says "Restraints applied": internal restraints
    do not have such "title cards.
