It is suspected the terrorist who was shot dead could be part of a larger group that infiltrated into India from Gurez side since it's near the LoC.
The third incident was reported from downtown Srinagar, where terrorists threw a grenade at a sparsely populated neighbourhood. No one was injured in the attack. There were few people on the road as restrictions were back in the area, sources said. The police are trying to find out the target of the grenade attack as the area was mostly deserted, sources said.
National Security Advisor Ajit Doval, who visited Jammu and Kashmir on Thursday, has asked the state police and the paramilitary forces to intensify anti-terror operations amid reports of a large number of terrorists waiting to infiltrate into India.
This was Mr Doval's second visit to Jammu and Kashmir since August 5, when the government scrapped special status to the state under Article 370 and divided it into two Union Territories. He had been crisscrossing the state and meeting with security forces and civilians to get a pulse of what was happening on the ground. In some photos released by the government, he was seen having a meal with locals.
Restrictions have been removed from all 22 districts in Jammu and Kashmir, state-run Doordarshan News reported. However, sources said restrictions in downtown Srinagar continue after the grenade attack.
