SRINAGAR: After several days of unrest, Kashmir remained largely peaceful today with police saying no untoward incident was reported from anywhere in the Valley.
But the move of the authorities to ease curfew in four districts of the Valley for allowing reopening of schools did not work even as newspapers hit the stands after five days.
While officials did not comment on whether the schools reopened today, reports from the four districts–Bandipora, Baramulla, Budgam and Ganderbal–said the educational institutions remained closed.
Though authorities lifted curfew from the four districts, restrictions on the assembly of people under Section 144 CrPC continue in these districts as a precautionary measure, a police official said. Curfew, however, continued in the remaining six districts of the Valley.
The curfew was lifted in order to facilitate the reopening of the schools in these areas following the Government decision to this effect yesterday.
A police official said the day passed off peacefully with no untoward incident reported from anywhere in the Valley. (AGENCIES)
