During the curfew relaxation, he said efforts were made to supply essential goods to people including vegetables, milk, water and foodgrains.

The city administration has ordered three hours curfew relaxation in 11 Police stations yesterday.

Curfew was imposed on July 3 as six persons were killed on communal violence on July 3 and 4 following the bandh call given by BJP in protest against Jammu and Kashmir Government's decision to revoke allotment of land to Amarnath Shrine Board.
