A mob attacked a police post at Hatmulla in north Kashmir&rsquo;s Kupwara district yesterday afternoon following which the security personnel retaliated. One person was killed and two injured in the incident, a police official said.
With this the death toll in the violence that followed the killing of Hizbul Mujahideen commander Burhan Wani has mounted to 39 while 3,140 persons including 1,500 security personnel have been injured. Minor protests were reported from some parts of the Valley but the miscreants were chased away by security personnel who resorted to baton charge, the official said.
&ldquo;The situation across Kashmir Valley yesterday remained relatively peaceful. No major incident was reported from anywhere in the Valley,&rdquo; he said. Authorities prevented newspapers from hitting the stands on Saturday as some media houses claimed that police raided their printing presses last night and seized the material while cable TV services were also affected in most parts of the Valley.
The police official said curfew remained in force in all 10 districts of the Valley as a precautionary measure to maintain law and order.
Three terrorists killed along LoC The Army on Saturday gunned down three heavily-armed terrorists and foiled an infiltration bid along the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir&rsquo;s Poonch district. The group of terrorists was attempting to infiltrate into the Indian territory from Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), a defence spokesman said. The troops spotted and traced their movement and kept tightening the cordon around them.
