"The situation in the state has remained normal so far. No untoward incident has been reported from anywhere so far," the tweet by the official handle of the J-K Police read.
In districts such as Udhampur, the people thronged the market place during the six hours of relaxation provided to the people for purchases before the Bakr-Eid.
Similarly, in the Poonch district too, heavy rush of the civilians was seen in the markets to stock up on their supplies and to prepare for the festivities of Eid.
The reopening of the markets and the enthusiasm of the public points towards that the curfews might be taken away soon and people will be able to return to their normal lives.
