Jammu: Mobile internet services in curfew-bound Kishtwar township were restored on Monday after remaining suspended for the past six days following improvement in the overall law and order situation, a senior government official said.
The curfew, which was promulgated in the town and adjoining areas on Tuesday last week following the killing of senior RSS leader Chanderkant Sharma and his security guard by terrorists inside a health centre, was also relaxed for three hours from mid-day, the official said.
Earlier, authorities had relaxed the curfew in a phased manner for one hour on April 12 and again for a few hours in different phases on Sunday. Minor incidents of protests were witnessed in some parts of the curfew-bound town on Saturday, following which no relaxation was given in the curfew.
The mobile internet services were suspended in the entire Chenab Valley belt comprising Kishtwar, Doda and Rajouri districts on Tuesday, but were restored in Doda and Ramban districts on Friday night.
