“Curfew has been imposed in areas falling under the jurisdiction of Nowhatta and M.R.Gunj police stations in Srinagar city along with Baramulla,” a senior police official said.
Authorities had lifted curfew from the entire Valley on Wednesday after 53 days since the unrest started on July 9.

Protesters also torched the house of ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Rajya Sabha member, Nazir Ahmad Laway in Chawalgam village in Kulgam district.
Reports here said the protesters first torched the guard room at his house and then set fire to the main building.
