For the unversed, mobile services, except on BSNL's postpaid, were snapped across the valley on Wednesday night as a precautionary measure in the wake of death of Kashmiri separatist leader Syed Ali Shah Geelani. Mobile Internet and Internet on fixed lines, except for BSNL's Broadband and Bharat Fiber were also barred.
Restrictions were imposed on the movement and assembly of people. While the roads leading to Geelani's residence in the Hyderpora locality remained sealed, barricades were put up in other areas to stop the movement of people. All markets, public transport, other businesses and educational institutions were also closed in the Valley as contingents of police and paramilitary forces remained deployed around sensitive places in the city and elsewhere.
