There was no fresh incident of violence or defying the curfew restrictions reported from these areas, they said.

It was later extended to the whole city when protesters defied curfew and held demonstrations at different places.
Curfew was also imposed in Bhaderwah and Samba on July 2 and in Kathua on July 3 following incidents of violence and clashes between police and the demonstrators.
