Security Beefed Up In Kashmir Valley A Day After Blasts

Security was beefed up in Srinagar on Wednesday, a day after two blasts rocked Kashmir killing two persons and injuring several others, officials said. They said security personnel has been deployed at sensitive locations, including a few market places, to keep an eye on miscreants. This is to ensure that the citizens get a sense of security and businesses operate normally, the officials added.

The deployment of security personnel comes a day after two blasts in the Anantnag and Hazratbal area of the city here left two persons dead and several others injured. Meanwhile, shops opened Wednesday morning at most places across the valley, including Srinagar, the officials said. They said most of the shopkeepers, however, downed their shutters in the afternoon to join the protest against the abrogation of Article 370. A few remained open for longer hours.
