Amid the ongoing Islamic festival of Ramzan, the Indian Army organised an iftaar event in Srinagar. Top Army officers, including Lt Gen DP Pandey, were seen participating in the iftaar event, which was followed by offering of namaaz.

Prior to the iftaar gathering, a book release event was held. The book was "House of Terror", a biography of Anwar alias Umar, who was a terrorist who became an Ikhwan, a member of the government-backed militia. The book highlights "the process of radicalisation of youth by Pakistan and its hybrid terrorists and overground workers (OGWs) in Kashmir, since 1980", according to the Army press release.
