Authorities on Saturday suspended the Amarnath Yatra from Jammu base camp for a day and mobile internet services in Kashmir Valley following the killing of Jammu and Kashmir's most wanted guerrilla Burhan Wani by the security forces.
The internet services were suspended to check rumour mongering by anti-social elements.
Besides, the authorities also imposed restriction in the entire district of Pulwama and in the towns of Ananatnag, Shopian, Pulgam and Sopore, officials said here.
In Srinagar, restrictions have been imposed in areas falling under seven police stations which include Nowhatta, Khanyar, Rainawari, M.R. Gunj, Safakadal, Maisuma, Kralkhud.
All school board exams scheduled for the day have been postponed.
Train services from Baramulla in Kashmir region to Banihal town in Jammu have also been suspended.
The killing of 21-year-old poster boy Burhan Muzzafar Wani on Friday along with two accomplices in the Kokernag area is considered as a major success for the security forces as Wani was allegedly instrumental in brainwashing a number of local boys in the area to take up arms.
Meanwhile, the separatists including the hardline Syed Ali Geelani, moderate Mirwaiz Umer Farooq and Asiya Andrabi, the radical chief of women's separatist outfit, have called for a valley-wide shutdown to protest Wani's killing.
