Earlier in the day, three Army Jawans were injured in a terrorist attack at Bandipora. The police described it as a “sneak attack on the vehicles of a road opening party”. A search operation was launched in the area after the attack.<\/p>\n
In a bid to maintain peace in the valley, authorities have deployed police and paramilitary personnel in large numbers across Kashmir. Serious restrictions have also been imposed.<\/p>\n
“We are well prepared to handle any situation in Kashmir. We have sent 214 companies of central forces to control any situation which may arise on July 8 and during Amarnath yatra,” Union Home Secretary Rajiv Mehrishi had said on Friday.<\/p>\n
Wani\u2019s native town, Tral, is under curfew to foil separatists\u2019 plan to hold a rally to mark the first anniversary of the killing of Burhan Wani. The separatist camp had urged people to march to Tral to pay tribute to Wani.<\/p>\n
Restrictions have been imposed on the movement of people in other parts of the valley.<\/p>\n
Internet service is already facing blockade since Friday.<\/p>\n
Considering the volatile situation in the valley, no fresh batch of Amarnath Yatris was allowed to leave Yatri Niwas base camp for the cave shrine on Saturday.<\/p>\n
Wani became the face of insurgency in Kashmir<\/a> after being killed by security forces on July 8 last year. His death had triggered massive protests and prolonged period of curfews and shutdowns across the Valley.<\/p>\n
