During the curfew relaxation period, members of only one community opened their shops while the other community did not respond to the calls for maintenance of peace and harmony and kept their shops and business establishments closed.
The religious leaders Vishatma Nand Saraswati, Madrasa Mohamdia Rizvia, Ishtiyaq Bhat, Mushtaq Dar, Iqbal Butt and Abdul Rashid Lone came forward appealing both communities to avoid violence and contribute for peace in the area.
An NGO National Forum for Peace and Human Rights has visited various areas of Rajouri to talk to the leaders of both communities. Its district genera secretary, Tanveer Shawl has said that they have received positive response from both communities and people are desirous of coming closer and solve all disputes which erupted during the last few days. He said that both communities want peace but there are certain reservations which will be solved within a couple of days.
