A grenade was lobbed by unknown militants at the Hari Singh High street area of Srinagar in Jammu and Kashmir on Saturday which left seven people injured.

Ahead of the attack, the shops were shut in the area. However, some roadside vendors were out, according to the eyewitnesses.

Investigations are underway to find out who was behind the attack, said police.

The attack comes after the Jammu and Kashmir government on Saturday announced that all post-paid mobile phones in Kashmir would be restored from Monday.

The phones and the Internet had been snapped on the night of August 4, just ahead of the major decision of scrapping Article 370 of the Indian Constitution, that granted special status to J&K.

while mobile phones will start working, internet services will continue to be stopped in the valley, said sources.

"After reviewing the situation in Jammu and Kashmir, a decision was taken to restore mobile phone facilities in all the remaining areas of Jammu & Kashmir. More specifically, all post-paid mobile phones, irrespective of the telecom service provider, will stand restored and be functional from 12 noon on Monday. This will cover all 10 districts of the Kashmir province," announced Rohit Kansal, Principal Secretary Planning, Monitoring and Development, and J&K Government's spokesperson.

The spokesperson further said that that with this step, tourists will be able to visit the valley without being handicapped by the lack of phone connectivity, students can be in touch with their parents while attending schools.

Businessmen can be in touch with customers and transporters can contact clients, and contractors can be in touch with staff, he added.

The decision has brought some relief for the people in the valley, but many observed that the lack of internet is going to continue to hurt many in the state. "We have been suffering for a long time. While phones are a welcome sign, the internet is very important and that is going to be a problem for all of us", said Umar, a professional.
