In Ladakh, thousands of people gathered in Kargil Town to observe Arbaeen-e-Hussaini, paying tribute to Hazrat Imam Hussain (A.S.) and his 72 companions who were martyred in the Battle of Karbala. The solemn mourning processions were organized under the banners of Jamiyat Ullama Isna Ashriya Kargil Ladakh and Imam Khomenie Memorial Trust Kargil.
