Somewhere in Kashmir....


Curfew was lifted in Kashmir Valley and mobile Internet services restored, a week after the restrictions were imposed following hanging of Parliament attack convict Mohammad Afzal Guru.
However, normal life remained affected as hardline Hurriyat Conference led by Syed Ali Shah Geelani on Friday extended till Sunday the strike over Guru’s execution and in support of the demand for return of his body to his family.
In a relief for five lakh mobile Internet subscribers in the Valley, internet services were restored on Friday. Internet services were snapped last Saturday as a precautionary measure as authorities apprehended that trouble-makers may misuse social networking tools for fomenting trouble by spreading rumours.
