”Curfew continues to remain in force in all 10 districts of Kashmir valley today as precautionary measure for maintaining law and order,” a police official said. Mobile telephone services in the Valley also remained suspended to prevent any rumour-mongering. He said the decision to continue the curfew was taken in view of large number of stone-pelting incidents across the Valley on Friday. In the ensuing clashes with security forces, 38 persons including a cop have been killed while 3140 persons including 1500 security force personnel have been injured. Normal life has remained paralysed since Saturday in Kashmir on account of separatist sponsored-strike and curfew-like restrictions imposed by authorities.
