SRINAGAR: Authorities have relaxed curfew for three hours in five police station areas of Srinagar city, which largely remained unaffected from the protests against hanging of Mohammed Afzal Guru.
“Curfew has been relaxed in the areas under the jurisdiction of Ram Munshi Bagh, Rajbagh, Kothibagh, Shergarhi and Saddar police stations from 4 pm,” a police spokesman told the Press Trust of India.
Situation during the relaxed hours will be reviewed before taking a decision on providing similar relief in other areas of the Valley, he said.
Meanwhile a police statement said that curfew was also relaxed in areas of police station Handwara in north Kashmir from 2 PM to 4PM and in central Kashmir’s Budgam from 4 PM to 6PM.
