Curfew to be relaxed for 3 hours in Old City

Hyderabad, April 03: Curfew will be relaxed in the communal violence-hit areas of the city tomorrow as the situation remained incident-free today and Friday prayers at local mosques passed off peacefully.

According to City Police Commissioner A K Khan, prohibitory orders will be relaxed from 10 am to 1 pm in all 17 police stations limits in the old city and from 8 am to 10 am in eight areas outside the old city.

“As everything was peaceful today we decided to relax the curfew tomorrow in all 25 police stations where it was imposed. We will gradually increase relaxation if the situation continues to be peaceful,” he said.

There was, however, no relaxation today in curfew, which was lifted for two hours yesterday, view of the sensitive nature of the law and order situation.
