Terrorist probably using cell phones, shut down cell phone service
Terrorists use ‘double sawaari’, ban on double sawaari
May be these idiots should ban on use of any transportation so no terrorist can ‘roam around’, no electricity so no terrorist will have internet service, no gas so terrorists can’t use gas generators etc. Instead of actually beefing up intelligence gathering, eliminating hate-spreading groups like LEJ, LJ, ISO, SM they are going to make life miserable for awaam :k:
