Jammu and Kashmir: Kishtwar under curfew for fourth day

Authorities are planning to relax the curfew for one hour from 4 pm on Friday, they said.

A senior RSS leader Chanderkant Sharma and his security guard were killed on Tuesday when a militant opened fire inside a health centre in Kishtwar town, prompting authorities to impose curfew and call the Army to maintain law and order in the communally sensitive region.
