After separatist leader Syed Ali Geelani’s death on Wednesday evening, situation across Kashmir has been peaceful and people are cooperating to ensure peace. “There has been not even one single untoward incident. Situation is fully under control,”
-Director General of Police (DGP) Dilbagh Singh
Geelani, 92, breathed his last at his Hyderpora residence on Wednesday evening after prolonged illness. He was laid to rest at a graveyard barely 300 meters from is house. His family members, however, alleged that police snatched the body of Geelani and didn’t allow his two sons to even participate in the burial.
On the communication blackout in Kashmir, the DGP said that the police and the administration will take a call on the restoration of mobile phone connectivity and internet “very soon.” About media reports that some Kashmiri boys have joined the Taliban, the DGP Singh termed it baseless stating that “nobody has joined Taliban from Kashmir. This is just malicious propaganda. Youth are busy in sports activities like rugby, cricket, and volleyball. Youth are busy shaping their career.”
