The district administration here on Saturday relaxed for four hours the curfew imposed in seven police station areas in view of the killing of a tailor, officials said. However, mobile internet services remained suspended.
The curfew will be relaxed by 10 hours on Sunday as the situation gradually returns to normal, officials said. Two men killed Kanhaiya Lal, a tailor, with a knife at his shop in Dhan Mandi area here on Tuesday to avenge the “insult to Islam”.

Udaipur Collector Tara Chand Meena said, “Curfew has been relaxed in the city from 12 noon to 4 pm today. Relaxation will be given from 8 am to 6 am on Sunday.”
