Curfew lifted from central Srinagar, Sopore town

Srinagar, July 14 (KMW): Curfew was today lifted from Batmaloo area of Srinagar and Sopore town but life continued to remain disrupted in the Kashmir Valley due to a strike called by the separatists.

Curfew, which was clamped in Batmaloo area of central Srinagar and Sopore town in North Kashmir yesterday, was lifted, police said.

Prohibitory orders clamped yesterday were also lifted except in the areas falling under four police station areas of Nowhatta, Khanyar, Maharajgunj and Safakadal in old city, they said.

The restrictions in old city continued as processions were taken out by people in several areas last evening after the restrictions were relaxed, police said.

They said the restrictions were imposed yesterday to foil separatists' plan to take out processions to martyrs graveyard Naqashband Sahib in Khawja Bazar area.
