Srinagar: Curfew was on Saturday lifted from south Kashmir's Anantnag town after 49 days, even as it remained in force in some other parts of the Valley, including Srinagar, to maintain law and order in view of the separatist plans to march towards the headquarters of Army at Badamibagh.
A police officer said it was for the first time that the curfew was lifted in the south Kashmir town ever since it was enforced on July 9 following the killing of Hizbul Mujahideen commander Burhan Wani in an encounter with security forces a day earlier.
The officer, however, said curfew continued in all of Srinagar and two south Kashmir towns of Pulwama and Pampore. Meanwhile, normal life remained paralysed for the 50th consecutive day due to curfew, restrictions and separatist sponsored strike.
