Communal tension | Curfew relaxed for 2 hours in Jammu and Kashmir Bhaderwah; lifted in Kishtwar

Curfew was relaxed for two hours on Wednesday in Bhaderwah town of Jammu and Kashmir's Doda while it was completely lifted in the neighbouring Kishtwar district headquarters, officials said.

Curfew and strict restrictions under prohibitory orders were imposed in parts of Jammu regions Chenab valley, including Bhaderwah and Kishtwar on June 9 following communal tension in the wake of protests over the remarks of former BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma on Prophet Mohammad and social media posts by some right wing local activists in her support.

The broadband and mobile internet services, however, remained suspended for the seventh consecutive day in both Doda and Kishtwar districts.
