The event was not only a celebration of Kashmir history but also a reflection of the community’s enthusiasm for the Navreh festival. Writers and poets expressed their commitment to spreading the festival’s message throughout the community.
Prominent participants included P L Hatash, Vijay Wali, A. K. Koul Rahi and Dr. Ramesh Razdan, among others.
