Curfew in several area of South Kashmir and large part of Srinagar city has been obligatory in the midst of tension after Burhan Muzaffar Wani, a 22 year old commander of the terror group Hizbul Mujahideen, was killed in an operation on Friday, in a big breakthrough for security forces.

The police said on Friday afternoon, Burhan Wani, who featured in videos circulated on Facebook and WhatsApp aimed at recruiting young Kashmiri men for terror, was hunted down by security forces in an intelligence-led operation and killed along with two other militants in Anantnag, south Kashmir.

There have been reports of overnight clashes between protesters and security forces in many parts of south Kashmir. The mobile internet services were blocked across the Valley. The ongoing Amarnath Yatra has also been suspended temporarily. Meanwhile, school board exams scheduled for today have also been postponed.

Burhan Wani was among the most wanted militants in Jammu and Kashmir though he may personally have never fired a single shot, the police said. Wani, whose father was a school principal, joined the Hizbul Mujahideen at the age of 15 after his brother was allegedly assaulted by securitymen in 2010.
