SAMBA: Samba district authorities have imposed night curfew from 9pm to 6am in a strip of one km from the International Border in Samba district of Jammu division.

It further reads that it is hereby ordered that no person or group of persons, shall move in the areas up to one km along the International Border in district Samba from 9pm to 6am.
“In case the movement is necessary, the person or persons are required to produce their respective ID Cards to BSF and Police authorities,” the order reads.
It further states any person found violating the order shall be dealt with, in accordance with law.
