Fashion show in Gulmarg during Ramzan sparks outrage; CM seeks report

Srinagar, Mar 9 (UNI) A recent fashion show held in the snow-covered resort of Gulmarg during the holy month of Ramzan has sparked outrage in Kashmir, with Hurriyat Chairman Mirwaiz Umar Farooq condemning it as "obscenity" under the guise of tourism promotion.
J&K Chief Minister Omar Abdullah expressed shock and anger, citing a "complete disregard for local sensitivities" and sought a report from local authorities within 24 hours.
“The shock & anger are totally understandable. The images I have seen show a complete disregard for local sensitivities & that too during this holy month. My office has been in touch with the local authorities & I’ve asked for a report to be submitted within the next 24 hours. Further action, as appropriate, will follow from this report,” office of the J&K Chief Minister Omar Abdullah posted on X.
