Curfew lifted in Jammu
After eight days of unrest in three districts of Jammu region, normalcy returned here today. The administrations of all three districts including Jammu, Kathua and Samba today lifted the curfew restrictions after reviewing the over all situations and imposed section 144 CrPc as preventive measure. Curfew was relaxed at several places in Bhadarwah today as well twice in a day and no untoward incident was reported.
Barring few protest demonstrations, the curfew relaxation announced by the district administration today passed off peacefully and no untoward incident was reported from any part of winter capital also.
However, several shopkeepers opened their establishments well before the decision to suspend the strike for a week was taken by Baba Amarnath Sangharsh Samitian amalgam of over thirty political, social and religious organizations.
Authorities extended the curfew restrictions to fourteen hours duration from 6 AM to 8 PM, which passed off peacefully in the city and its outskirts.
The normal life was affected partially for ninth consecutive day today as commercial transport remained off the road.
However, Auto Rikshaws started plying on the Jammu roads since morning giving a sigh of relief to the Vaishno Devi pilgrims and other outsiders who were stuck in the city of temples due to curfew restrictions.
During curfew relaxation, people rushed to shops to purchase essential commodities and long queues were seen for petrol and diesel at the filling stations while the banks and Automatic Teller Machines (ATMs) also observed heavy rush of commuters as most of the people had exhausted their money.

Soon after the incident, the locals of both the communities came across and started pelting stones on each other for 45 minutes near Seri Market, said reports, adding, “Panic gripped in the entire area when the PSO of Municipal Committee Bhaderwah Javed Azad opened fire in the area.” Finding the situation going out of control, police opened fire to disperse the mob. One CRPF jawan identified as S K Sahu and one protestor identified as Manjeet Singh received bullet injuries in the incident.
