“This event was last organised in 2017. ‘Jashn-e-Dal’ has been one of the favourite events as far as the celebration of these beautiful water bodies are concerned. However, there was a break for some time, but this year, despite the COVID-19, we thought this is the time to bring people who are interested in water bodies to the sports field — to the Dal Lake,” Dilbagh Singh, Director General J-K Police told reporters as quoted by ANI.

“The Jammu and Kashmir Police has organised this three-day festival starting today. We have a very large number of participants as over 200 boys and girls will be participating in this festival,” Singh told the Indian news agency.
