Srinagar: Curfew
continued in parts of Srinagar Thursday, a day after sectarian
clashes in some parts of the city, police said.
Curfew had been imposed in nine police station areas, including
Lal Bazar, Nigeen, Safakadal and Rainawari.
On Wednesday, some groups of Shia and Sunni Muslims clashed in the
Hawal area of old city Srinagar. The rioters had also resorted to
pelting stones on police who intervened to bring the situation
under control.
"Curfew has been imposed as a preventive measure to maintain law
and order in these areas," a police officer said.
Contingents of police and paramilitary Central Reserve Police
Force (CRPF) in riot gear have been deployed to enforce the
restrictions in the affected areas.
Traffic intersections and main roads have been barricaded by coils
of concertina wire.
"Since today (Thursday) morning no untoward incident has been
reported from anywhere in the city," the officer added.
There was tension even in areas not under curfew as reports of the
clashes spread. Authorities have also mounted vigil in other towns
and villages of the Kashmir Valley with a mix of Shia-Sunni
population.
Educational institutions, banks, post offices, businesses and
other routine activities were also affected.
The Kashmir University has postponed all the examinations
scheduled Thursday.
