Srinagar, July 10: Barring Sopore and Pulwama, curfew relaxation continued in the Kashmir Valley today to allow people to offer special prayers on the occasion of a Muslim festival as police cracked down on stone pelters and arrested 20 people allegedly responsible for instigating mobs.
The four-day-old curfew was relaxed in the entire valley last night after a high-level meeting presided over by Chief Minister Omar Abdullah to enable people offer special prayers overnight at the Hazratbal shrine for Shab-e-Mehraj, an important occasion on the religious calendar here.
Some protestors came out in the streets in Qamarwari, Naaz cinema, Nowhatta and Maisuma of the city this morning in but were chased away by the police. Restrictions were imposed in Maisuma after the protests.
