The curfew was imposed in Leh town on September 24 following widespread violence that left four persons dead and scores of others injured. It was first relaxed for two hours each in two different areas on September 27 followed by two-hour relaxation on September 29 evening after the cremation of the slain persons.
The curfew was relaxed for seven hours from 10 am on September 30 and further extended by one more hour on October 1. The situation remained by and large peaceful, prompting the authorities to further extend the relaxation period for the whole day.
However, the mobile internet services in the entire district continue to remain suspended, while prohibitory orders banning assembly of five or more persons also remained in force in the entire Ladakh.
