We have been in Kashmir for seven days. It is our first time here (in Lal Chowk). And if you look at it, it is the first time we are celebrating Independence Day somewhere,\u201d she told PTI Videos.<\/p>\n<p>Gurjar said the family wanted to experience the atmosphere at Lal Chowk and they were not disappointed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKashmir has changed a lot from what it was before. Before coming here, we were also scared. But, after coming here, all fear has vanished. It is safe. It is good. The infrastructure is very good,\u201d said Gurjar, adding that her eyes were welling up.<\/p>\n<p>Another tourist, Pune\u2019s Aisha Sheikh, said the visit was a dream come true.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cComing to this Lal Chowk, where Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru unfurled the flag, was a dream for us. If we come to Kashmir, we must come to Lal Chowk,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Sheikh said there were many speculations in the media that Kashmir is not safe.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut we did not feel anything like that. It is completely safe. People are also very good. The residential (local) people are good, the military is very supportive. And for the tourists here, Kashmir is completely safe,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>As shouts of \u2018Vande Mataram\u2019 reverberated in the air, Sheikh said she could not feel any prouder.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cVande Mataram comes from within, saying this is my country, this is my nation, and this is my pride.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are Indians, we will remain Indians, and we will be buried in India itself. So we shouldn\u2019t even be called Pakistanis. We are Indians. And we proudly say that we are Indians,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Sheikh insisted that today\u2019s generation does not believe in division and there is no Hindu-Muslim issue.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll are Indians, there\u2019s nothing else here. Kashmir is completely safe,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Authorities made elaborate arrangements, complete with selfie points, for the people to celebrate the day.<\/p>\n<p>A kid skated around with glee, carrying the tricolour in one hand.<\/p>\n<p>Suraj Bhatt, a tourist from Ahmedabad, Gujarat, was thrilled to witness the moment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is a big crowd here \u2026 It feels good. The atmosphere here is energetic and enthusiastic, and it feels good to be at Lal Chowk,\u201d Bhatt, who was visiting the Valley for the fourth time, said.<\/p>\n<p>Gujarat-based Arun Haryani, painted in saffron, white, and green, stood beneath the Clock Tower, continuing a tradition he began four years ago.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI used to hear that hoisting the tricolour here was considered a challenge and that tensions would rise in the area. So, I thought I should come here myself, hoist the flag and spread a message of peace and brotherhood,\u201d he said, recalling his first visit.<\/p>\n<p>Haryani said when he came to the valley in 2022, there was almost a curfew-like atmosphere.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut when I came here in 2023, people stood from 6 in the morning until around 11 pm at Lal Chowk. They celebrated and danced, and at one point, someone even lifted me onto his shoulders and danced with me. That made me feel that a very positive message of brotherhood had come across. Since then, I have been coming here every year,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_40225\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-40225\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-40225\" src=\"https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Screenshot-2026-08-15-at-4.50.11-PM-300x189.png\" alt=\"Srinagar's Lal Chowk Bathed In Tricolour; Visitors Welcome Change From 'Tense' Past\" width=\"300\" height=\"189\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Screenshot-2026-08-15-at-4.50.11-PM-300x189.png 300w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Screenshot-2026-08-15-at-4.50.11-PM-549x347.png 549w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Screenshot-2026-08-15-at-4.50.11-PM-444x280.png 444w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Screenshot-2026-08-15-at-4.50.11-PM-233x147.png 233w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Screenshot-2026-08-15-at-4.50.11-PM-230x145.png 230w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Screenshot-2026-08-15-at-4.50.11-PM-360x227.png 360w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Screenshot-2026-08-15-at-4.50.11-PM-100x63.png 100w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Screenshot-2026-08-15-at-4.50.11-PM.png 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-40225\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Srinagar&#8217;s Lal Chowk Bathed In Tricolour; Visitors Welcome Change From &#8216;Tense&#8217; Past<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Srinagar, Aug 15 : The iconic Lal Chowk here wore a festive look on Saturday as hundreds of tourists celebrated the country\u2019s 80th Independence Day in front of the famous Clock Tower.
