Curfew lifted in occupied Kashmir after 51 days
NEW DELHI (Web Desk) - After weeks of unrest following the killing of Burhan Wani, authorities in Indian-occupied Kashmir have lifted a curfew imposed across the restive region.

The curfew was lifted after a mayhem of 51 days and loss of over seventy lives during widespread demonstrations.

“Curfew has been lifted from the entire Valley. But, it will remain in force in Pulwama town and in areas under the jurisdiction of Nowhatta and MR Gunj police stations in Srinagar,” The Times of India quoted a senior police official as saying.

The decision to uplift curfew comes just days after Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif decided to send 22 parliamentarians as his special emissaries to different world capitals in a diplomatic push to shed light on unabated rights violations in the disputed valley by India. The prime minister’s move sparked anger among Indian media which called it “provocation, needling and meddling” in the country’s affairs.

Life in Srinagar city on Monday started limping towards normalcy. While public transport continued to be off the roads, there was increased movement of private cars and auto-rickshaws on the roads in the city.

The attendance in government offices also showed an upward trend with a majority of employees reporting for work. The banks were also open and witnessed a massive rush of customers as soon as they opened.

Meanwhile, mobile internet continued to remain suspended in the Valley, where the outgoing facility on prepaid mobiles remained barred.
