Curfew remained in force in parts of Srinagar on Wednesday as a precautionary measure in view of the tenth day of Muharram, even as normal life remained affected in the Valley for the 96th day due to the ongoing unrest. Curfew has been imposed in the five police station areas of downtown Srinagar, a police official said here. The official also said that curfew-like restrictions have been imposed in four police station areas of Soura, Lal Bazar, Zadibal and Nigeen. Meanwhile, normal life remained affected for the 96th consecutive day in the rest of the Valley following killing of Hizbul Mujahideen commander Burhan Wani in an encounter with security forces on July 8. The shops and other business establishments open during the periodic relaxation announced by the separatists on some days of the week.
