Curfew was on Tuesday lifted from all parts of Kashmir, except Anantnag town, after 17 days of unrest in the Valley in which 47 persons were killed and 5500 others injured in clashes following killing of Hizbul Mujahideen commander Burhan Wani.

"Curfew has been lifted from all parts of Kashmir except Anantnag town, today," a police official said.

The official said there is no curfew or restrictions on the movement of the people in the district.

"However, in other parts of the Valley, restrictions on assembly of four or more people will continue to maintain law and order," the official said.

The Srinagar-Muzaffarabad bus service, also known as Karwan-e-Aman, was also resumed on Monday after remaining suspended for two weeks due to the unrest in Kashmir Valley.

Mobile Internet services have also been restored in Jammu region, after a 17-day-long ban.

Life in Kashmir had been paralysed since July 9, a day after Hizbul Mujahideen commander Burhan Wani was killed in an encounter with security forces.

The security grid has geared itself to ensure that the march does not take place, the police official said.

As many as 45 persons have been killed and over 3400 others injured in the violent clashes between protestors and security forces following Wani's killing.
