Curfew will be relaxed in Saharanpur for 12 hours: DM

Saharanpur (UP), Aug 3: Curfew will be relaxed in violence-hit Saharanpur for 12 hours on Sunday, Aug 3, an official said.

"Curfew will be relaxed from 7 am to 7 pm on Sunday," Saharanpur District Magistrate Sandhya Tiwari said here. The situation is getting normal in the district rapidly, she added.

Curfew was clamped on last Saturday in Saharanpur in the wake of clashes between two communities over a land dispute, which left three persons dead and over 30 injured.

As many as 165 shops and handcarts and 42 vehicles were set ablaze during the violence.
