Curfew in violence- hit Hailakandi district was on Tuesday relaxed from 7 am till midnight following improvement in situation, an official order by the Deputy Commissioner Keerthi Jalli said here.
Night curfew, however, will remain in force for eight to 10 days.
Banks, markets, educational institutions and government offices remained open and public and private vehicles were seen plying on the roads during the relaxation period, officials added.
Internet services, which was suspended since Friday night following the unrest on that day, resumed on Tuesday morning.
In a letter addressed to the people, the deputy commissioner said the need of the hour is to maintain peace and communal harmony "as the district is going through a difficult phase".
"I am aware that imposition of curfew has caused inconvenience to you. I promise you that it is a temporary measure and done to act as a deterrent to the anti-social elements," she said.
Urging the people not to be swayed by emotions and not to believe all that is being circulated on social media, Jalli said, "I appeal to everyone to cross-check and verify the information with the district administration."
