Srinagar: J&K allows Muharram procession after three decades

Members of the Shia community in Srinagar on July 27 took part in a Muharram procession after a gap of over 3 decades. The J&K administration permitted the procession citing a long-pending demand of the Shia community. The procession was carried on the traditional route of Shaheed Gunj to Dalgate. Traditionally, Shia mourners organise two big processions in the Valley.
