Aug 13, 2025: In Samba district, where Pakistani terrorists enter Jammu, a night curfew has been imposed in areas up to two kilometers from the international border. According to officials, the administration made the decision after consulting with various security establishment stakeholders.

Night curfews had been in effect in the region, which borders Pakistan, up until the first week of January this year. According to the officials, the new nighttime curfew was implemented to support BSF operations and enhance security. Unless they are lifted earlier, the restrictions will be in effect daily from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. for the next two months, according to an official order issued by Samba District Magistrate Ayushi Sudan.

The order stated, "The decision was taken in coordination with security agencies to enhance border monitoring and prevent illegal activities by regulating civilian movement during the night." It stated that only legitimate reasons for movement during curfew hours would be allowed, and individuals would be required to present identification when BSF or police personnel asked for it.
