With the situation improving in riot-hit areas, day curfew has been lifted in the city.
"The situation is completely normal and day curfew in five police areas - Prem Nagar, Qila, Baradari, Kotwali and Subhash Nagar - has been lifted between 5am to 10pm," officials said.
The situation had become a bit tense yesterday after six statues were allegedly stolen from the ancient Jagganath Puri temple in Bada Bazar area.
Protesting against the theft, members of a community blocked road, which was later lifted on the assurance that the guilty would be arrested soon.
Curfew was clamped in four of the six police areas of the city on March 2 in the wake of communal clashes over a barawafat procession.
It was later extended to one more police area after fresh violence on March 11.
