Indore, July 6: Curfew in the riot-hit areas in Indore were relaxed for two hours on the third day since its implementation with only women allowed to come out of their houses to buy essential items.

District Magistrate Rakesh Srivastava, however, described the situation as normal and peaceful as no untoward incident has taken place from anywhere in the city.

He said curfew was relaxed in areas under 13 police stations out of the total 27 in the city from 7 am to 9 am and only women were allowed to come out of their houses to buy necessary items.

Khajrana, Pandharinath, Malharganj and Chhatripura police stations, where communal violence started on July 3, were among the areas where curfew was relaxed, he said.

During the curfew relaxation, he said efforts were made to supply essential goods to people including vegetables, milk, water and foodgrains.

The city administration has ordered three hours of curfew relaxation in 11 police stations yesterday.

Curfew was imposed on July 3 after six persons were killed during communal violence on July 3 and 4 following the BJP's bandh call in protest against Jammu and Kashmir Government's decision to revoke allotment of land to the Amarnath shrine board.

Amarnath, Indore and Indian Muslims by Khan on 07 Jul 2008

This issue is not limited to Indore but there is recurring occurences of such incidents in parts of India. Modi played the same game and now BJP wants to play same game in MP. It is very unfortunate that we have unethical, dishonest and liers in BJP leadership like Advani and his saffron gang and people do endorse them. No doubt BJP does not like Muslims and that makes the basis for their series of issues. Muslims must understand such tactics practiced by both BJP and Congress. Both parties do not want to give the basic fundamental rights of freedom and justice to the Muslims in India. We are in the state of denial in the name of freedom. Muslims needs to improve their thinking too in the light of our nobel teachings of religion and fight for our dignity in India. Jehaad is a struggle to defend our human rights and defeat the evil and it does not require arms unless we need to protect ourselves from armed evils. What is evil ? Gujrat. Evil forces were taking unborn babies from the womb
