Muslim leaders are set to march to a UN office in Indian-administered Kashmir, demanding the right to self-determination for locals.
The leaders are expected to submit a memorandum at the UN's office in the summer capital, Srinagar.
More than 21 people died last week in the Muslim-majority Kashmir valley during police firing on protesters.
The unrest began two months ago when a piece of land was awarded to a trust running a Hindu shrine.
This provoked Muslim anger. The government then rescinded its decision, triggering furious counter-protests from Hindus in Jammu.
Correspondents say that by marching to the UN office and presenting a memorandum of their demands, the leaders are trying to internationalize the latest crisis in Kashmir.
Police in Srinagar say the curfew has been lifted in several districts, but local people say this not true.
People hoisted black flags in many parts of Srinagar on India's independence day last Friday.
