In Srinagar district, the areas where the service was suspended included Anchar, Eidgah, Qamarwari, Soura, Maharajgunj, Nowhatta, Safa Kadal and Bagyass.

In Kulgam district, it was suspended in Wanpoh and Qaimoh. In Pulwama, the service was snapped in Litter area. The mobile Internet suspension has come in the aftermath of recent civilian killings.

Meanwhile, amidst targeted killings, J&K BJP chief has requested the migrant labourers to stay back in Kashmir. Ravinder Raina said, “One has to work together to defeat Pakistani conspiracies”. Lakhs of migrant labourers usually return from the Valley before the onset of winter to escape the freezing cold, but the recent killing of five labourers in different parts of Kashmir by terrorists has triggered fear among them and some of them have started returning to their native places ahead of the schedule. “Our brave Army, police and paramilitary forces carried out successful counter-terrorism operations and killed a large number of terrorists and their associates. The stepped up anti-terrorism operations caused frustration and desperation among their ranks,” Raina said. — IANS/PTI
