In Valley, celebrations after Pakistan win

In Tral, a large number of men and women took to the streets after Pakistan’s win. Eyewitnesses said there were victory parades in most Tral villages. In the town, a huge gathering raised anti-India slogans.

In Shopian and Khudwani in Kulgam, militants are said to have fired in the air in celebration, though this could not be verified. Celebrations were also reported from Sopore, Baramulla and other parts of north Kashmir.

As a precaution, gates of the NIT-Srinagar campus were closed at 5 pm. Last year, out-of-town students at the institute had clashed with local students during an India-Pakistan match.
