The authorities on Thursday evening suspended all mobile phone services throughout the Kashmir Valley without any notice.
The subscribers of different mobile phone companies suddenly found their services snapped.
Authorities said that this has been done to prevent spread of rumours and misinformation by the anti-social elements.
The authorities have also announced that curfew has been imposed in all 10 districts of the Kashmir Valley and it shall remain enforced till further orders.
The curfew has been imposed to prevent large scale violence as large Friday prayer congregation are held each Friday.
For the last many months, the valley has been witnessing stone pelting by youth immediately after Friday prayers conclude.
