The Kashmiri Pandit community in Srinagar took out a religious procession ''Shobha Yatra'' to celebrate the Hindu festival Ram Navami. The procession was taken out from the Old city of Srinagar's Habba Kadal area. Habba Kadal was majorly dominated by the Kashmir Pandit community before the start of the insurgency.
In a bid to ensure hassle free movement of vehicular traffic in Srinagar, the Regional Transport Authority designated 25 additional routes for e-rickshaws.
Despite the administration's claims that normalcy has returned to the erstwhile state, the 33-year-old ban on Muharram processions continues to remain in place.
