On Saturday, the Kashmir valley was kept under strict lockdown for the third day in a row, with internet services shut off to prevent any protests following the death of hardline Hurriyat leader Syed Ali Geelani. According to reports, massive numbers of police, paramilitary, and army soldiers were stationed along the valley's routes, which were blocked by barricades and concertina wire.
Despite the fact that phone calling and broadband internet services were restored late Friday night after being stopped for two days, mobile internet remains unavailable. Mobile internet services are expected to be restored on Sunday evening, according to an official.
Geelani, a nonagenarian, died on Wednesday evening at his uptown Hyderpora home after a protracted illness. To avoid any law and order issues, authorities promptly deployed a large security force around the Valley. He was buried about 500 meters from his home in a cemetery.
