 "Curfew eased for three hours in Bandipora in Kashmir")
Authorities in north Kashmir's Bandipora district today announced a three-hour relaxation in curfew, three days after it was imposed following the killing of a youth in police firing.
"There is a three-hour relaxation in curfew from 9:45 am to 12:45 pm today," a police spokesman told PTI.
He said the relaxation has been announced to facilitate people to purchase essential commodities.
The protesters allegedly started pelting stones on a police camp and tried to set ablaze a police vehicle, prompting police to open fire which led to the death of Dar.
