“Curfew was relaxed for four hours in Bhaderwah town of Jammu and Kashmir’s Doda as the Friday prayers concluded peacefully across the district amid additional deployment of forces to maintain law and order,” officials said.
The curfew in Bhaderwah town was imposed on June 9 following communal tension in the wake of protests over the controversial remarks on Prophet Muhammad by now-removed BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma and some social posts by local right wing activists in her support.
