SRINAGAR: Old Srinagar city areas have allegedly became hub of illegal activities, like puffing of charas, drugs, gambling, and drinking, while as locals find it inconvenient and embarrassing to walk through streets and lanes because of the behaviour of the social renegades and miscreants.

“The immoral activities were continuing in these parks, but nobody dares to raise the voice against the concerned authorities and social renegades. The miscreants openly take wine in the graveyard behind the Masjid Alnoor near Ganzkhud Srinagar. Whenever anybody confronts these debauches, they abuse and humiliate him. The females folks feel unsafe to venture out from their houses, said Mukhtyar Ahmed.
