Hamid stressed the new generation to have due respect and regard for Kashmiri culture and language as Kashmir has a rich civilised culture and promotion of this culture was the duty of every citizen.

He said that the district administration was committed to highlighting the rich culture through such functions and days like this would also be celebrated in the future.
