It is for the first time in 32 years, since the Kashmiri Hindus genocide perpetrated by Islamists with help of Pakistan, that the Hindu festival procession is being carried out like this at Lal Chowk. Earlier this month, the Lal Chowk was also lit up for the Independence Day celebrations. This, too, happened for first time in years. In August 2019, the Indian government abrogated Article 370, which gave the special state status to the erstwhile state of Jammu & Kashmir.
