Meanwhile, curfew-like restrictions continued for the second day in parts of Kashmir and mobile internet services were suspended in some areas. Tension prevailed in the Valley following the killing of four persons in action by security forces during violent protests since Tuesday. Strict restrictions have been imposed in Kupwara town, Kralgund, Handwara, Magam and Langate areas in north Kashmir to maintain law and order, a police official said.


He said the restrictions were imposed following death of three persons during protests against alleged molestation of a girl by a soldier in Handwara town on Tuesday.

Another youth was killed in Drugmulla area of Kupwara during protests against the Handwara incident yesterday.
