A CRPF jawan was injured in a grenade attack by militants on a security forces’ camp in Tral area of Pulwama district in Kashmir, police said on Sunday.

The ultras fired a UBGL grenade at a joint camp of CRPF and police at Aribal in Tral town at 10.30 p.m. on Saturday, a police official said.

He said a CRPF constable was injured in the grenade explosion. He was taken to a hospital in Srinagar and the doctors said his condition was stable.

No militant outfit has claimed responsibility for the attack which came on the first death anniversary of Hizbul commander Burhan Wani.

 

Mobile internet services restored

Authorities on Sunday restored mobile internet services in Kashmir, two days after the facility was snapped in view of apprehensions of law and order problems on the first death anniversary of Hizbul ‘commander’ Burhan Wani.

However, only 2G services were working, an official said.

“Mobile internet services have been restored in Kashmir,” the official said, adding the facility was restored during the night.

“The high speed network is still suspended, while BSNL’s broadband service also remains suspended” the official said.

He said the decision to restore the broadband and other high speed internet services would be taken after assessing the situation on Sunday.

Internet services across the Valley were snapped on July 6 night as precautionary measure to maintain law an order in view of Wani’s anniversary.

Wani was killed in an encounter with security forces in south kashmir’s Anantnag district on July 8 last year.
