Night curfew imposed in border areas upto 2 km from IB in J&K’s Samba

JAMMU: The Samba district magistrate has ordered a night curfew in areas up to two km from the International Border (IB) to ensure better area domination by BSF and to foil any illegal activity close to the borderline.

“The restriction will be in place daily from 10 pm to 5 am for the next two months, unless withdrawn earlier,” the order said.


DM Ayushi Sudan’s order said the decision was taken in coordination with security agencies to enhance border monitoring and prevent unlawful activities by regulating civilian movement during night hours.

“Movement during curfew hours will be permitted only for valid reasons and individuals must produce identification when asked by BSF or police personnel. Violators will face legal action,” the order added.
