India: Police impose curfew following Tuesday’s bombing in Jaipur

None

Police imposed a daylong curfew in the western Indian city of Jaipur on Wednesday to prevent any retaliatory violence after a series of blasts in crowded areas left at least 80 people dead. Authorities suspect Islamic militants are behind the blasts, and they moved quickly to stop any potential clashes between the city's Hindu majority and its sizable Muslim minority.

 

Authorities quickly ordered alerts in New Delhi, Mumbai and several other cities. Security was also stepped up at airports and railway stations across the country. (AP)
