Jammu and kashmir chief minister Omar Abdullah salute during a ceremony marking Martyrs' Day at the Mazar-e-Shohda (Martyr's graveyard) in Srinagar , the summer capital of Indian Kashmir, 13 July 2012. Authorities Friday clamped severe restrictions in Srinagar city, the region's summer capital to thwart the separatist march on the eve of Martyrs' day in Indian Kashmir.The restrictions were enforced by contingents of Indian police and paramilitary troopers of India's Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) deployed across the city. July 13 in Indian Kashmir is remembered as Martyrs' day to pay homage to 22 people (civilians) killed in 1931 by the troopers of the then oppressed Dogra ruler of Kashmir, Maharaja Hari Singh. Every year the local government in the region observes a function to remember these martyrs by visiting their graveyard and laying flower wreaths on their graves.The day is an official holiday across the region.However, the separatist groups call for a strike to mark the day saying the struggle initiated by these martyrs is yet to reach its logical conclusion.
