The authority has extended the 6 hours night curfew in Buthidaung, Maaungdaw and Kyauk Taw since June 8 and the same order for Sittwe, Kyauk Pru and Rambree was implemented from June 10 last.
The night curfew, starting from 10 pm every night, was clamped in all the township areas following the clashes between the Buddhists and Muslims of Arakan last year. But the restriction has resulted in tremendous difficulties for the common people.
The situation in Arakan has improved a lot, but the sense security among the mass people is still missing and hence the authority has decided to extend the curfew for two more months.
