In flooded Srinagar, Friday prayers offered on bridges, roads
SRINAGAR: With mosques inundated by flood waters, hundreds of people offered Friday prayers along with "funeral prayers in absentia" for those killed in the natural calamity here on bridges on roads.
After the congregational prayers, people offered special prayers and also offered "gaybana nimaz-e-jinaza" (funeral prayers in absentia) for those killed in the floods.
One such gathering was witnessed on the Budshah Bridge near Maisuma, where the faithful from Maisuma, Gaw Kadal, Koker Bazar and adjoining areas offered the prayers.
The residents said the mosque in Maisuma was still submerged even as the authorities were using a number of dewatering pumps in the area.
