After 51 days, curfew was on Monday (August 29) lifted from northern Indian state Kashmir, except for few police areas, but normal life continued to be hit by the strike called by separatists.
Clashes were reported from a number of places in Srinagar city and parts of Budgam district but nobody was hurt in these incidents, police said.
'Curfew has been lifted from Kashmir except from Pulwama town and the areas in Srinagar falling under the jurisdiction of police stations M R Gunj and Nowhatta,' police said.
The curbs were lifted following improvement in the situation, a police official said. However, the security forces will remain deployed in strength in sensitive areas of the Valley to maintain law and order,' the official said.
Curfew was clamped in entire Valley on July 9 following violence in the aftermath of Wani's killing in an encounter in south Kashmir's Anantnag district a day earlier. The violence has left 68 people, including two cops, dead and several thousand injured.
While public transport continued to be off roads, there was increased movement of private cars and auto-rickshaw.
