Violence erupted again at Rejinagar in Murshidabad district on Wednesday evening, injuring around 20 people.
People in Nuh on Wednesday came out of their houses to buy essentials as curfew was lifted following the administration’s decision to relax restrictions in violence-hit area, officials said.
The restrictions were lifted from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. to allow people to buy essential items such as food and medicines.
Earlier on July 31, communal violence was reported after a Brij Mandal rally was stopped in Nuh and the district administration imposed a complete curfew in the area. However, the past 24 hours, Nuh did not witness any fresh violence though the situation continues to remain tense.
