Authorities in Jammu and Kashmir on Thursday decided to suspend mobile internet services in the Kashmir Valley to prevent misuse of social networking sites by anti-social elements ahead of the death anniversary of Hizbul Mujahideen commander Burhan Wani.

As a preventive measure to strengthen security across the Valley as separatists prepare to observe Wani's death anniversary, sources said service providers have been asked by authorities to suspend m obile Internet services indefinitely from 10 p.m. onwards on Thursday.

Separatists have announced a Valley-wide protest shutdown on July 8 to observe the death anniversary of Wani, who was killed on the same day last year, following which the Valley remained shut for 53 days.
