Eid prayers disallowed at Srinagar's Jama Masjid 6th time in a row

Local authorities in Srinagar denied permission for Eid prayers at the Jama Masjid for the sixth consecutive year, closing the gates and placing Mirwaiz Umar Farooq under house arrest. The Anjuman Auqaf Jama Masjid condemned the move, calling it a violation of religious freedom and exacerbating feelings of alienation in Kashmir.
