Samba District Imposes Night Curfew Along India-Pakistan Border

The measure aims to bolster Border Security Force patrols and tighten surveillance ahead of national commemorations.

Overview

  • The curfew runs nightly from 10:00 pm to 5:00 am in areas within two kilometres of the International Border for the next two months unless withdrawn.
  • Under District Magistrate Ayushi Sudan’s order, civilians must show valid reasons and produce identification to move during curfew hours.
  • The restriction supports Border Security Force operations by reinforcing patrols and blocking infiltration attempts along this vulnerable frontier.
  • This action revives controls lifted in January and follows a deadly May encounter in the Sanyal belt that heightened security concerns.
  • Violators will face legal proceedings to deter unauthorized nighttime movement and uphold the new restrictions.
