In the past month, the NCPO has been able to implement its stated objectives and matters of urgency. Martial law was invoked so that officials can immediately end violence from political conflict which may affect people’s safety and property. Initially it was necessary to impose a curfew so that NCPO can maintain peace and order which may affect normal daily life. The curfew was gradually eased, from shortening the hours from 22.00 - 05.00 hrs. to midnight – 04.00 hrs., followed by the lifting of curfew in major tourist areas and the total lifting of curfew across the country on June 13 after only 24 days of taking over national administration.
