Watch Telecom services have been targeted by militants in Srinagar with grenades being thrown at an Aircel showroom and a Vodafone tower in an attempt to disrupt public communications.

In May, more than 50 communications towers were shut down in the Sopore area of Northern Kashmir after a string of attacks and threats by terrorists. A man working at a mobile phone shop had been shot dead along with another who had a cell phone tower installed on his property..
