PATNA: (PTI) Curfew was relaxed at riot-hit Sasaram town in the Bihar, Nov 8, though the army continued its flag-marches to reassure public safety.

Sasaram witnessed large-scale violence in the past two days in which eight people were killed.

However, authorities confined only six deaths.

Massive combing operations by security forces had led to the seizure of 113 bombs and a huge cache of explosives. Altogether a hundred people had been arrested.
