Srinagar, July 27: J&K Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Thursday expressed happiness over Muharram-08 procession in Srinagar after three decades.
“Happy to see the Muharram procession going on through roads of Srinagar after 35 yrs,” said Sinha.
The administration had granted two-hour permission to the procession from 6 am to 8 am. Thousands of mourners were part of the procession as it took off on the traditional route of Shaheed Gunj to Dalgate, a route which has been out of bounds for the processions in the backdrop of the law-and-order situation since 1989.
