Srinagar,
Nov 8: Life remained affected for the second day on Wednesday due to
strike in south Kashmir district of Pulwama where three militants, including a
self styled Divisional Commander of Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM), were killed in a
fierce encounter.
A soldier was martyred and a civilian injured in the exchange of fire on Monday night. One of the slain militants identified as Talha Rasheed, is nephew of JeM Pakistan based chief Moulana Masood Azhar, mastermind of Pathankote terror attack. Police have now requested Pakistan to claim the body of Talha, a Pakistani resident. Shops and business establishments remained closed and traffic was also off the roads in Pulwama, where authorities have suspended mobile service since last night. A number of cabs and private vehicles were seen plying. However, train services in the valley, including Srinagar-to Banihal in Jammu region via south Kashmir, was operating normally. This is for the first time that trains continued to chug in south Kashmir despite three militants being killed. Work in government offices and banks was also affected. Majority educational institutions also remained closed or recorded very less attendance as a precautionary measure. However, life remained normal elsewhere in the south Kashmir, where business and other activities were going on smoothly and traffic was plying on all routes.
Additional security forces also remained deployed in Pulwama and other main towns besides on Srinagar-Jammu national highway to prevent any law and order problem. Three militants killed in the encounter at Aglar Kandi were identified as Mohammad Bhai, divisional commander, Talha Rasheed and Waseem Bhai. UNI
