Thousands of devotees took part in mourning processions across Srinagar, with participants reciting elegies, offering prayers, and reflecting on the timeless values of justice, sacrifice, truth, and resistance against oppression upheld by Imam Husayn.The administration made elaborate arrangements to ensure the peaceful conduct of the procession, including security deployment, traffic management, healthcare services, drinking water facilities, and other essential amenities for mourners.
