Srinagar: Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha led a ‘Tiranga rally’ in Srinagar on Monday.
Thousands of people, including men and women carrying national tricolours, participated in the rally, which was taken out from the Sher-i-Kashmir International Conference Centre (SKICC) to the botanical garden on the banks of Dal Lake, officials said.
Many government dignitaries, VIPs, and officials also participated in the rally that commenced at 5 a.m. from the SKICC.
