Srinagar, Today, As a precautionary measure in the wake of fierce clashes after Friday prayers last week, authorities snap mobile telephony services, except postpaid facility on state-run BSNL, in Kashmir.

Non-BSNL phone services were blocked across Kashmir for 12 days from July 14 to July 26. Mobile internet services, which were clamped across networks throughout Kashmir hours after the death of Hizbul militant Burhan Wani on July 8, continues to remain so.

The suspension of mobile services came as authorities prepared for a volatile Friday with apprehensions of intense clashes.

Last week, three people were killed in firing by security forces after Friday prayer protests erupted.

However, the outgoing facility on such numbers continued to remain barred.

Mobile internet also continued to remain snapped for the 35th day today.
