Curfew has been withdrawn from all areas of violence-hit Sambalpur in Odisha as the law and order situation has “improved” and there is “no apprehension of breach of peace”, according to a notification.
However, restrictions on meetings and rallies will remain in force, and written permission from the district administration will be required to organise such events, it said.
The curfew was imposed in six police station areas following a clash between two groups during Hanuman Jayanti celebrations in Sambalpur city mid of this month.
