Terrorists Lob Grenade Outside Deputy Commissioner's Office In Anantnag, 14 Injured

Terrorists carried out a grenade attack on Saturday outside the Deputy Commissioner’s office in Anantnag township of south Kashmir, leaving at least 14 people injured, even as restrictions imposed in the Valley in view of Friday congregations were lifted.

Normal life in Kashmir remained affected following the Centre’s August 5 move to abrogate Article 370, which provided special status to Jammu and Kashmir, as markets and other business establishments remained closed while most of the public transport was off the roads across the Valley. However, government offices were open and attendance in most offices was near normal. A large number of private vehicles and some private taxis including autorickshaws could be seen plying in many parts of the city while some roadside vendors were also visible, the officials said.
