Security forces on Sunday patrolled the streets while a chopper kept aerial vigil over this communal violence-hit city.
“Though situation is tense, it is completely under control, and no incident of clash or violence has been reported from any part of the city since morning,” the forces said.
Meanwhile, the district administration here has decided to relax curfew for four hours on Monday in the five police station areas — Prem Nagar, Subhash Nagar, Kotwali, Baradari and Qila —which are under the restriction for the last 72 hours.
Curfew will be relaxed from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., however, schools will remain closed till further orders, IG Bhanoo Pratap Singh and Commissioner Majid Ali told a press conference here.
Around 30 shops were allegedly torched in Qutubkhana sabzi mandi, one of the oldest markets in the city, on Saturday.
The district administration, however, later claimed that the fire broke out due to a short circuit.
Curfew was clamped down in the city on March 2 following communal clashes over a barawafat procession.
