Curfew was on Tuesday lifted from the restive Pulwama town following gradual improvement in the situation across Kashmir, leaving the city's M R Gunj and Nowhatta police stations as the only areas of the Valley under curbs, even as normal life remained affected for 53rd day due to separatists-sponsored strike call.
"Only two police station areas in Srinagar city –M R Gunj and Nowhatta –are under curfew today," a police officer said, adding that no other area in Valley was under curfew which was put in place in the wake of violence following killing of Hizbul Mujahideen commander Burhan Wani.
Curfew has been lifted from Pulwama town where prohibitory orders were in force till Monday, the officer said. He said the decision to lift curbs was taken following improvement in the situation.
There were minor stone-pelting incidents at a few places on Monday, but overall situation remained peaceful in the Valley, he said.
