Following improvement in the situation, curfew has been lifted across Kashmir by the authorities. A police official said there is no curfew anywhere in Kashmir and the curbs on the movement of people have been lifted across the valley, including from the summer capital here, following improvement in the situation. However, restrictions on the assembly of people under Section 144 CrPc were in force throughout the valley. Normal life remained affected due to the unrest which erupted after killing of Hizbul Mujahideenterrorist Burhan Wani in July. The unrest, which has claimed 84 lives, including that of two cops, and left thousands of others injured in clashes between protestors and security forces, would complete 100 days tomorrow as shops, business establishments, petrol pumps and educational institutions remained closed, while public transport continued to be off the roads.
