Curfew lifted in Jammu and Kashmir | Curfew was lifted from Jammu and Kashmir on Sunday after
six days, as the situation remained generally peaceful. However, prohibitory orders have been clamped in Baramulla, Anantnag and Pulwama districts besides some parts
of Srinagar . “Curfew has been lifted from the valley. However, there are prohibitory
orders in some parts of the city as well as in some other districts,” Kashmir
Region Inspector General Farooq Ahmad said. Indefinite curfew was imposed in the
Kashmir Valley following tense situation, in which incidents of violence and protests
were reported. Earlier, on Tuesday, the Army was deployed in Srinagar following
violent protests, which left three persons dead and over 70 injured. Seventeen
columns of army soldiers conducted flag marches on Wednesday, following widespread
violence in the Batmaloo and Maisuma localities. The decision to deploy the Army
was taken after Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah made a formal request
to the Central Government for its help in enforcing curfew and maintaining law
and order in Srinagar . The situation in the valley has been tense over the past
few weeks due to repeated clashes between protestors and security forces. |
