To tighten the security in the border regions of the country, the district administration of Samba has decided to impose a night curfew. Days before Independence Day, the District Magistrate of Samba ordered a night curfew in areas up to 2 km from the International Border on Tuesday. The main aim of imposing the night curfew in the border regions is to enhance security and support Border Security Force (BSF) operations. 

As reported by the news agency ANI, the restriction will be in place daily from 10 pm to 5 am for the next two months unless withdrawn earlier.

According to news agency ANI, the order issued by District Magistrate Ayushi Sudan stated that, “The decision was made in coordination with security agencies to enhance border monitoring and prevent unlawful activities by regulating civilian movement during night hours.”
