- Additional deployment of security forces has been made across the valley, especially in Srinagar
- Sources also said 50 companies of additional paramilitary forces are being inducted into the valley in the wake of the recent spate of civilian killings
- Bunkers manned by paramilitary CRPF have come up in several areas of the city as well in other parts of the valley. The aim of constructing new bunkers and putting more personnel on the ground was to cut the free movement of militants

- Mobile internet services on a dozen towers -- mostly in the areas where non-local labourers were killed in the past week -- were snapped three days ago as part of the security measures
