In a grand show of patriotism, more than 10,000 people participated in a massive ‘Tiranga’ rally held today in Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir. The event, which aimed to celebrate India’s Independence Day, was led by Lt. Governor Manoj Sinha and showcased a significant community effort to honor the nation.
The rally commenced from the picturesque Botanical Garden, situated by the serene banks of Dal Lake. Participants marched enthusiastically towards the Sher-e-Kashmir International Convention Centre (SKICC). From there, they began their return journey, heading back to the Botanical Garden.

It also led to the repeal of several regressive laws, including those restricting inheritance rights for daughters and limiting land ownership and job opportunities based on residency. Through these changes, the Act sought to ensure greater equality and integration within the region.
