Omar scales boundary wall to pay tributes to martyrs

Since Monday morning, the police and paramilitary personnel had sealed the roads leading to the graveyard at Nowhatta in downtown Srinagar.

When Omar's cavalcade reached Khanyar, he alighted from his vehicle and walked over a kilometre on foot to reach the graveyard. He found the gates locked and a large posse of security personnel guarding them.
