“The report has further made a case that to prevent such violence and loss of life and property, it’s imminent to impose curfew in the district,” Choudhary said, adding, “Therefore, after having considered the material facts in report and examining the situation in backdrop of prevailing factors, I, District Magistrate, Srinagar, by virtue of powers vested in me u/s 144 Cr PC hereby order complete restrictions on public movement / curfew in territorial jurisdiction of District Srinagar.”
Further, he said medical emergencies and movement of staff on COVID-19 duty with pass/Valid Cards shall be exempted from the restrictions. “Additional Deputy Commissioner (Adm), Srinagar shall deploy one Magistrate each to coordinate implementation in each Police Stations jurisdictions,” he said, adding, “These restrictions shall come into force with immediate effect and shall remain in force on 4th and 5th August 2020.
