The two other militants were identified as Moulvi Bilal and Adil Thokar, also well known in south Kashmir. Kashmir University, fearing protests over killing of Bhat, has decided to suspend classwork onand also postponed all the examinations. The situation will remain tense for the whole year, considering the spike in militancy and increasing anger among young generation.
