Curfew lifted from Kashmir Valley for Eid

SRINAGAR: After days of unrest, the situation in the Kashmir Valley was calm on Thursday with curfew being lifted from all parts and a break in strikes called by the separatists in view of Eid-ul-Fitr. The situation is peaceful throughout the Valley and curfew has been lifted from all parts, a police spokesman said. With the lifting of curfew coinciding with the separatists' decision not to call for strike, shoppers flocked markets and business establishments reopened in Srinagar and all major towns of the Valley. Meanwhile in New Delhi, J&K CM Omar Abdullah met finance minister Pranab Mukherjee and defence minister A K Antony on Thursday to seek their supports for his demand for amendments in the controversial Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA). The FM is understood to have assured Omar of complete support of the Centre in dealing with the present situation. Antony is believed to have told the CM about the reservations of the Army on any amendment or partial withdrawal of AFSPA.
