NEW DELHI, June 20 (AP)— Meghalaya state imposed a month‐long evening curfew on its 300‐mile heavily forested border with East Pakistan to day in what was termed a move to protect life, property and communications and to guard against infiltration of Pakistani spies.

The move followed a Pakistani protest yesterday to the Indian high commissioner, or ambassador, in Islamabad against the alleged “continuation of incidents of unprovoked firing by Indian border security forces and Indian armed forces and trespasses Into Pakistan territory.”

A Government spokesman in Shillong, the capital of Meghalaya, said the curfew would be enforced from 8 P.M. to 4 A.M. each day in a three‐mile belt stretching from the border. Several border villages have been evacuated following reported attacks by Pakistani troops believed to have been chasing East Pakistani separatists across the frontier.
