Two labourers from UP injured in Budgam terror attack
Two migrant labourers from Uttar Pradesh were on Friday injured in a terrorist attack in the Budgam district of central Kashmir.
The first Friday congregational prayers of the holy Islamic month of Ramzan were held peacefully in all mosques and shrines across the Kashmir valley, police said.
The largest congregational prayer was held at Hazratbal shrine on the banks of the Dal Lake where about 50,000 devotees including men, women and children offered prayers. This was followed by Srinagar’s downtown Jama Masjid where around 18,000 devotees offered prayers, Kashmir Zone Police said.
The Waqf Board made elaborate arrangements for the devotees at the Hazratbal shrine. The head priest of Jama Masjid in his sermons threw light on the Ramzan fasting and other aspects of the holy month.
Police said the congregational prayers were held peacefully across the valley.
