Kashmir Muharram procession held in Srinagar after 3 decades; LG Sinha says street violence in Kashmir now history

SRINAGAR: After more than three decades, the Shia community on Thursday took out a Muharram procession along the traditional route in Srinagar, from Guru Bazar area to Dalgate through Lal Chowk.

Expressing happiness over the peaceful 8th Muharram procession, lieutenant governor Manoj Sinha and the security brass said it was a testimony to the return of peace and normalcy in J&K. The LG said street violence had ended in Kashmir and people were breathing freely today.

Scores of Shia mourners assembled at Guru Bazar early in the morning and marched through Budshah Chowk and MA Road to reach Dal Gate, and later dispersed. Emotions ran high and the mourners raised slogans as the procession moved. The gathering of more than 25,000 people was fully disciplined and well-coordinated, police said.

Multi-layered security cover was provided to the mourners and senior police officers and administration officials were present on the ground to ensure peaceful and smooth conduct of the procession.

“The procession started at 6am and culminated at 11am. Our forces were on the ground from 4am, while nakas were placed by 5am, before people started the march. Traffic management remained excellent since morning,” additional DG (Kashmir), Vijay Kumar, said.

The Muharram procession had not been taken out for the last 33 years and its resumption was “another historic day in the continued march towards peace and stability”, the ADG said.

The Shia community leaders expressed gratitude to the administration for the “historic decision”.

Voicing his satisfaction at the peaceful conduct of the Muharram procession, LG Sinha, while addressing a national convention on Sufism, said: “Street violence that was once a routine in the Valley, no longer exists. At one point of time, shutdown calls were a regular feature, but people were the ultimate sufferers,” he said.

Peace was imperative for development, which could not take place in disturbed areas, the LG asserted. He also spoke about the syncretic culture and the Sufi tradition of Kashmir.

Kerala governor Arif Muhammad Khan, who also attended the convention, said the teachings of revered Saint Sheikhul Alam were being followed across the world and that’s why “he is known as Sheikh-ul-Alam not Sheikh-ul-Kashmir”.

 
Yeah, once upon a time said by the ex-cm that indian flag is impossible to host at srinagar Lal chouk, but now it is flying on daily, without any problem.
 
Congratulations to the beaters and the mourners.
You want Kashmir but aren't taking a step in that direction. Do as suggested below:

Patience is a virtue. All in good time
 
I have a question. If they do self-flagellation every year, do they become handicapped/disabled?
no, just scarred, I imagine.

there's some Hindu crazies in India who also do similar weird schit, and most famously in the Philippines (and maybe some in south America?) who get crucified.

I did not want to start another thread on Kashmir. But I wanted to post, how Kashmir is getting normalized. Miss World visited Srinagar. Finally, Indian Kashmir is seeing normal days.
Another Post on Kashmir Normalization. I am confident Pakistanis will say this is AI Generated.
Kashmir is normalijed saar

Meanwhile:
Pajeets still shutting down Kashmiri press:
I am confident Chindoos will say it was a CIA ISI Khangress Vatican Sickular Urban Naxalite Chindoophobic outlet so it deserved to be shut down

Pajeets still going after Kashmiris who are opposing revocation of Art 370 or reporting on Hindu military crimes in Kashmir:
I am confident Chindoos will say they were ISI Love Zihadi who had personally impregnated and force converted 300 pajeetnis so they deserved to be targeted

Pajeets taking selfies waving their tricolor at Lal Chowk with every single shop behind them shuttered and closed in protest:

I am confident Chindoos will say ISI Zihadis created a replica of Lal Chowk in a terrorist training camp and hired ugly sickukar Khangress pajeet antinationals to pose with a tricolor to humiliate India.
