Last month, Indian forces had transferred two Kashmiri youths Muhammad Afzal Lone and Fayaz Ahmed Ganaie to Srinagar Central Jail from Kupwara and Srinagar areas.

Both were arrested on alleged charges of organising anti-India protests and hurling stones.

Earlier in October, the post-paid voice calls were restored in the valley.
