Curfew relaxed in entire Jammu city
The HinduAuthorities on February 20 relaxed curfew in the entire Jammu city for the first time since its imposition on February 15 as the situation improved. District Magistrate, Jammu, Ramesh Kumar, initially ordered relaxation in the curfew in the entire city from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. and later extended till 3 p.m. as no untoward incident was reported from anywhere. Mr. Kumar, the Jammu DM, said prohibitory orders under section 144 CrPC would remain in force in the entire city as a precautionary measure to maintain law and order. Curfew was imposed in the entire Jammu city on February 15 following massive anti-Pakistan protests and sporadic incidents of violence in the wake of the terror attack in Pulwama district of south Kashmir which left 40 CRPF personnel dead.
