Curfew

Curfew in an area is imposed by the order of the public authorities specifying a time during which everyone or certain people in a specific area are required to remain indoors. The curfew can be imposed to maintain public order or to suppress certain groups protesting or demanding certain things.

In India, the curfew is imposed very frequently to control riots and violent areas in various towns and districts. Recently, a curfew was imposed in several districts of Kashmir for several months following the protest and stone pelting by locals in the area.

A curfew was also imposed in Sirsa, Punjab, after the supporters of Dera Sacha Sauda guru Ram Rahim vandalised and put on fire various properties of government and public organisations.
