Curfew was clamped in Jammu and Kashmir’s Kishtwar district and Bhaderwah town in adjoining Doda district, and prohibitory orders under Section 144 of the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC) were imposed in the rest of the Chenab Valley, including Ramban district, in view of communal tension after the use of derogatory language by some people belonging to two communities hurt religious sentiments on both sides.

As per news report of The Indian Express, as a precautionary measure, all internet services were suspended in Chenab Valley comprising Kishtwar, Doda and Ramban districts. Officials, however, said that the situation is under control and talks are in progress with leaders of both the communities to cool down tempers. Trouble reportedly erupted when objectionable remarks against a particular community were made during a protest rally by members of the majority community at Bhaderwah.
