The curfew clamped on Jodhpur following the communal violence on Id-ul-Fitr earlier this week remained in force for the third consecutive day on Thursday.
The curfew in 10 police station limits of the city was extended till Friday midnight. Of the 211 persons arrested so far on various charges, 60 were granted bail.
The situation in the city was peaceful on Thursday. The district administration organised peace committee meetings in different localities to build trust between the two communities. Police authorities appealed to the people to maintain peace and not believe rumours. Mobile internet services in Jodhpur will remain suspended till further orders.
