Curfew was imposed in Delina and Palahalan towns of Baramulla district, Bandipora district town and three towns of Kupwara district in the wee hours, a police spokesperson said.
 
The restrictions were clamped following reports that some persons were planning to create law and order problems, he said, adding, the restrictions were eased in Trehgam, Kralopora and Kupwara towns after 8am.

Shops, business establishments and private offices remained closed in most parts of the Valley.
