Srinagar, Jun 26: Srinagar’s Zadibal area once again witnessed an example of communal harmony as young members of the Sikh community served refreshments to mourners during the Zuljanah procession on Friday.
As thousands of mourners joined the Zuljanah procession from Bota Kadal-Zadibal to commemorate the sacrifice of Imam Hussain (AS) and his companions at Karbala, the Sikh volunteers were seen distributing drinking water to the participants amid the scorching heat.
