Police said the curfew relaxations have been withdrawn as a precautionary measure in Samba, Jammu, Rajouri and Kathua as an all-party delegation headed by Union Home Minister arrived in Jammu from New Delhi to review the situation.

Army troops staged flag marches in Jammu, Samba, Kathua and Poonch districts early on Saturday.

"There is no report of any untoward incident so far from any curfew-bound area. The situation is peaceful," said a police officer.

In Kathua, curfew was extended for another 72 hours by the district administration. In Jammu and Samba districts, the curfew entered the ninth day on Saturday.
