Srinagar Resumes Muharram Processions After 33 Years

Authorities in Srinagar have granted permission for Muharram processions on the eighth and tenth days of mourning, starting from Guru Bazaar to Dalgate. The processions, banned since 1990 due to militancy, resumed last year after a 33-year gap thanks to improved security conditions.

Authorities in Srinagar have announced the resumption of Muharram processions, following a 33-year ban due to militancy. The approval was granted on Sunday for processions on the eighth of Muharram, from Guru Bazaar to Dalgate.

The district magistrate of Srinagar gave the green light after the police issued a 'no objection' certificate, signifying a significant step forward in local security management.

The ban on Muharram processions, specifically on the eighth and tenth days of mourning, had been in place since 1990. However, the administration began allowing these processions last year, reflecting ongoing improvements in the security situation.
