AWANTIPORA: Police in Awantipora commemorated the 150th anniversary of India’s National Song, “Vande Mataram,” with great patriotic fervour and enthusiasm. Special exhibitions including patriotic songs, were organized at public places across Awantipora, Pampore, Tral, and Khrew to mark the occasion.
