SRINAGAR: Jammu and Kashmir Police on Thursday said that 8th Mohram procession has been another historic landmark in our continued march towards peace and stability. Shia brethren here are quoting it as a historic day in J&K History which is showing a sitution at par with the days when normalcy was prevailing in the state Keeping in the view of sensitivity of the day, when the shadow of terrorism and petty politics of separatism made it impossible to hold such events , the procession was not taken out for the last 33 years in the aftermath of violence and arson during the event. But today when it was restarted after over three deacdes , it is simply showing our resolve and commitment to a peaceful and prosperous future. Kudos to the people and participants The procession started at 06 and culminated at 1100 hrs. Our Forces were on ground since 4 o clock in the morning Naka and cut off points were placed by 05 am Before people started the procession Traffic management remained excellent since morning. The gathering of more than 25000 people in the form of procession , fully disciplined and peaceful and well coordinated. It is certainly another historic day for our people.
