District Magistrates issued the orders for imposition of curfew in their respective areas of jurisdiction this evening and the order will come into effect from the morning, an official spokesman said.

The spokesman said no vehicular movement will be allowed except for medical emergency vans.

The mobile telephone network will also be snapped around this midnight to prevent rumour mongering, a police official said.

The mobile Internet services are already suspended in the Valley since Saturday.

Violent protests erupted in the state after the killing militant Burhan Wani by security forces in an encounter.
