Shillong/UNI: Curfew has been relaxed partially in Meghalaya’s capital Shillong with no reports of any fresh violence from parts of the city on Wednesday, an official said.

The district authorities have decided to relaxe curfew in commercial areas – Police Bazaar areas and Anjalee cinema areas bordering Iew Mawlong from 1200 hours to 1600 hours on Wednesday.

Moreover, curfew has been relaxed in Sohra (Cherrapunjee) town from 0080 hours to 1800 hours on Wednesday, while in Shella areas from 0800 hours to 1300 hours.

Meanwhile, 110 Rapid Action Force (RAF) personnel has arrived in Shillong on Wednesday to assist the State police in maintaining law and order.

“The situation in the state is normal and under close watch,” Meghalaya police spokesperson, Gabriel Iangrai said.

Mobile internet service remained suspended for the next 24 hours from 2200 hours on Tuesday night in four districts – East Khasi Hills, West Khasi Hills, South West Khasi Hills and Ri-Bhoi.

However, the government has lifted the ban on mobile internet service in East and West Jaintia Hills district from 2200 hours on Tuesday night.
