Srinagar, February 28: The situation in violence-hit villages of north Kashnmir’s Pattan town is fast returning to normalcy as the curfew continued for the third day today in the affected villages.
“The situation in Kangamdora, Hagarpora and adjoining villages in Pattan Tehsil is fast returning to normalcy,” Deputy Commissioner, Baramulla, Bashir Ahmad Bhat said.
However, curfew continued for the third day as a precautionary measure in the affected villages which witnessed clashes between two sects of Muslims over erection of a hoarding of a spiritual leader on Thursday, leaving 20 persons injured besides damage to many houses and shops.
“The situation is under control as curfew continued in two villages as a precautionary measure,” Bhat said, adding there was no report of any fresh violence from any part of the curfew-bound villages.
