Srinagar: After a short break due to COVID-19 imposed lockdown, traditional and cultural activities have resumed in the Kashmir Valley.

Following the Jammu and Kashmir administration's decision to allow  sports and cultural activities to restart in the valley, several local artists and groups have organised events to promote the rich culture and tradition of the region.

The 'Gulshan Culture Forum' organized a two-day cultural event that began on Wednesday and attracted a significant number of people to their program. The event, held at Kunzar town hall of Tangmarg Baramulla, witnessed energetic performances including folk singing and short skits by talented artists, reports ANI.

"We're happy that the J-K administration has allowed the revival of cultural and sporting activities because the lockdown has caused a huge void in the past few months. People want to come out and spend leisure time indulging in traditional activities. We organized the two-day event keeping in mind the rich culture of Kashmir," Gulshan Badarni, event organizer, told ANI.

"It was a joy to perform for the people of our valley after such a long time. I'm thankful to the forum as well as the J-K administration for restarting such activities in the valley," Manzoor-ul- Haq, a folk artist, told ANI.

The audience also cherished such events in the Valley.

"Such events are a strong reminder of our inception. It helps the younger generation stay in touch with their traditional roots," Masroor Muzzafar a local audience member, told the news agency.
