Srinagar, Dec 02: Divisional Commissioner Kashmir VK Bidhuri on Tuesday extended an open invitation to the people of the Kashmir valley for the January 26 celebrations in Srinagar.
“I extend my invitation to everyone to attend the Jan 26 function, which is going to be held at Bakhshi Stadium Srinagar this year,” Bidhuri told reporters in Srinagar. “Like August 15 last year, I again invite people to come and join the celebration of January 26. I hope you will respond and join the function,” he said.
Notably, the divisional administration has been holding Republic and Independence Day celebrations at Sher-e-Kashmir Cricket Stadium Sonawar Srinagar for the last few years owing to security concerns.
However, after a considerable improvement in the law and order situation in the valley, the divisional administration has decided to hold such events at Bakshi Stadium Srinagar.
