Will the internet be suspended on 8th and 13th July? Here is the confirmation.

Inspector General of Police Kashmir Zone, Vijay Kumar on Wednesday said internet services won’t be snapped on 8 July and 13 July but police will increase its surveillance to ensure peace remains intact.

Talking to a selected group of reporters in Srinagar, the IGP Kumar said though some requests are pouring in that the internet should be snapped given the fact that an online portal from across the LoC has published posters calling for strike on 8 July and 13 July.

“A police party went to Syed Ali Geelani’s house to confirm whether he had called for any strike, but family members denied and termed posters on Geelani’s name as fake,” the IGP said as per a local news agency—KNO.

He said that police won’t snap the internet but surveillance will be increased to keep anti-social and anti-peace elements at bay on 8 July and 13 July. “

8 July marks the anniversary of young Hizb commander Burhan Wani who was killed on this day at Anantnag district in a gunfight. And 13 July is observed as martyrs’ day across J&K to remember 22 martyrs who were killed in 1931 during Dogra rule.
