Curfew ends in valley after two days
5/26/2019 2:07:30 PM


Srinagar
Official on Sunday said the Curfew in Jammu and Kashmir has ended after two days of restrictions and shutdown in the wake of the killing of Zakir Musa.

Musa was killed in an encounter with security forces in Pulwama. He was the chief of Ansar Ghazwat-ul-Hind, a group affiliated with Al-Qaeda.

“Normalcy has returned to the valley as there is no strike today and no restrictions have been imposed anywhere,” an official said.

Officials said shops, fuel stations and other business establishments re-opened this morning while public transport also operated normally.

“The weekly flea market on the TRC Chowk-Batamaloo axis through the Lal Chowk city centre was also open,” official added.

Musa was killed in an encounter with security forces at Dadsara village of Tral in the south Kashmir's Pulwama district Friday after forces launched a search operation on late Thursday evening following specific information about the presence of militants there.

The curfew was imposed in parts of Kashmir Valley as a precautionary measure on Friday.

It continued on Saturday in view of a strike called by the hardline Hurriyat Conference chairman Syed Ali Shah Geelani against the killing of Musa and a civilian, Zahoor Ahmad, a resident of Naira Pulwama – by unidentified gunmen on Thursday.

Mobile internet was also suspended on Thursday night across the valley, but the low-speed service was restored in most parts on Saturday evening following improvement in the situation. The high-speed mobile internet service continued to remain barred.
