Amid rumours over the health condition of Kashmiri separatist Syed Ali Shah Geelani, Divisional Commissioner of Kashmir, Baseer Ahmed Khan on Wednesday said that the news that is being circulated about Geelani's health condition is baseless. Commenting further, Khan said Geelani's condition is stable. A team of doctors was sent to Geelani's residence day before yesterday, Director of Sher-I-Kashmir Institute of Medical Sciences (SKIMS), Prof AG Ahangar said, adding Geelani's health is better and his treatment is underway.

Meanwhile, mobile internet services on Thursday were snapped in Kashmir to prevent rumours about the health of Geelani. Some media posts late on Wednesday claimed Geelani had passed away after his health deteriorated.
