Burhan aide buried in native village; curfew imposed in Valley

Srinagar, May 28 : The authorities in Kashmir imposed curfew in parts of Srinagar and Pulwama district on Sunday to maintain law and order and prevent further protests over the killing of top Hizbul Mujahideen militant Sabzar Ahmad Bhat, who was buried today in his native Tral village.
Spontaneous and widespread protests were witnessed in Kashmir on Saturday afternoon as the news of the killing of Sabzar, a close aide of slain militant Burhan Wani, broke out, which prompted authorities to snap mobile internet and prepaid mobile telephone services to prevent “spread of rumours” and to contain the “fallout”.
In Srinagar curfew has been imposed in eight police station areas on the instructions of the district magistrate. The areas where curfew has been imposed include, Khanyar, Nowhatta, Safa Kadal, MR Gunj, Rainawari, Maisuma, Kralkhud and Batamaloo. The police and paramilitary forces, deployed in strength, have erected barricades and put concertina wires at important cross sections in the areas notified and the civilians are not being allowed to move out, witnesses said.
