While there is  no change in policy under Governor’s rule in J&K on handing over bodies of local terrorists killed in anti-terror operations to their families, J&K police are ensuring that their funerals remain uneventful with only close relatives in attendance. “The bodies of all four IS-influenced terrorists killed in Anantnag on Friday were handed over to their respective families. Mobile internet services in the home village/town of the slain terrorists as well as adjoining areas were suspended to rule out efforts to mobilise large crowds. The funerals of all four terrorists were understated, quiet affairs with no open celebration of their ‘martyrdom’ or flashing of IS flags,” an officer of the security establishment said.
