Rasheed explained that the Governor relaxed the curfew to alleviate the suffering of residents of the three towns and provide an opportunity for them to attend to their immediate needs.
The Governor however expressed dissatisfaction with the report of another killing for which the police have been arrested while warning that anybody or group of persons, found or caught masterminding any violent act will face the full consequences.
The Governor also tasked the joint security task force to maintain the usual 24-hour surveillance to ensure zero tolerance for any act of lawlessness while enjoining the state emergency agency to intensify the support services for the displaced people.
