Farooq Abdullah urges people to offer special prayers to end dry spell in Kashmir

Srinagar, Dec 11 (PTI) National Conference president Farooq Abdullah Wednesday asked the people of Kashmir to offer special congregational prayers to bring an end to the ongoing dry spell in the Valley.

In a statement, he emphasized the importance of offering special prayers at major shrines, mosques, and Khanqahs across Kashmir to end the dry spell that has been plaguing the region.

He specifically mentioned revered shrines such as Charar-e-Sharief and Maqdoom Sahib, encouraging people to seek relief from the challenging weather conditions that have been affecting the entire population, the statement said.
