Srinagar: Yaum-e-Ashura, the 10th day of the month of Muharram was observed across Kashmir on Thursday with majalis and processions commemorating the supreme sacrtifice of Syedna Imam Hussain and other members of the noble family of Prophet Muhammad (Pbuh) on this day in 680 CE in the plains of Karbala.

Mourners carried out processions in Srinagar, Budgam and other districts that culminated peacefully.

However, authorities again disallowed the traditional procession of Ashura banned since 1990. The procession used to commence from Abi Guzar in the civil lines and culminate in the evening also known as Sham-e-Ghariban at Zadibal in downtown Srinagar.
