Kashmiris celebrate R-Day, but without mobiles, Internet - Rediff.com News

Mobile phones across Kashmir Valley on Thursday fell silent from 9 am till noon as service providers switched off the links following instructions from the security agencies as part of precautionary measures on Republic Day.

"Mobile phone and portable Internet services were shut down from 9 AM till noon to ensure that no electronically controlled remote control devices were operated by militants," an official said.

These services remain shut on Republic Day and Independence Day after militants used a mobile phone to trigger a bomb blast outside Bakshi Stadium in 2005.

Meanwhile, shops and business establishments remained closed across the city and other areas of the Valley due to a strike call given by separatist groups.

Transport services remained off roads throughout the Valley.
