Curfew clamped in major towns of Kashmir Valley

After a day's break, curfew was today again imposed in major towns in Kashmir in the wake of a separatists' call for shutdown and marches in Srinagar, Anantnag and Sopore to protest against killings and deployment of troops in the Valley.

Police said curfew has been imposed in the city and all major towns in the Valley barring Ganderbal, Handwara, Shopian and Kulgam as a precautionary measure.

The authorities had lifted curfew in the Valley barring in Trehgam, Anantnag and Mattan towns yesterday coinciding with a break in the strike called by the separatists.

Shops and business establishments, banks, educational institutions and private offices remained closed and transport was off the roads across the Valley.
