Kashmir crisis: Authorities lift curfew from parts of Srinagar city

Srinagar: Authorities today lifted curfew from parts of the summer capital where the curbs were imposed to foil the separatists’ plans of holding a congregation at Jamia Masjid here even as normal life remained affected in Kashmir Valley for the 127th consecutive day.

“Curfew has been lifted in the five police station areas of the city where it was imposed yesterday as a precautionary measure,” a police official said.

He said there were no curbs on the movement of people anywhere in the Valley.

The lifting of the restrictions led to an increased movement of people and transport in the city.
