The dharna was held to demand restoration of Internet service in the hills, GJM sources said.

The suspension of Internet services, which was imposed on June 18, has been extended till July 25, by the district administration.

Although no incident of violence was reported since Sunday night, police and security forces continued to patrol in the hills.

With food supply severely hit due to the ongoing strike, GJM activists and NGOs of the hills were seen distributing food items among the people.
