Srinagar/UNI: Jammu and Kashmir LG Manoj Sinha on Sunday inaugurated multipurpose cinema halls within Pulwama and Shopian districts.

“Today is a historic day for J&K UT. Multipurpose Cinema Halls at Pulwama and Shopian will offer facilities ranging from movie screening, infotainment and skilling of youth,” Sinha said.

After more than three decades, the people of Kashmir will be able to watch movies on the big screen with the reopening of these cinema halls.

A first of its kind multiplex is also likely to be thrown open to the public in Srinagar during this month.

The Dhar family and INOX worked together to create the multiplex at high security Sonawar area in city centre Srinagar, which is likely to be thrown open to the public in Sept.

Establishment of cinemas at district headquarters has been undertaken by the Government's Mission Youth Department in collaboration with the district administration.

Cinema Halls in Anantnag, Srinagar, Bandipora, Ganderbal, and Doda, among others, will be inaugurated soon.

Cinema houses got shut in 1990 after the separatist armed insurgency erupted.

Several cinema houses in Kashmir valley have been turned into security camps while one has been serving as a premier medical centre and others are still locked.

The erstwhile Palladium Cinema in city centre Lal Chowk which was burnt during a gunfight is presently occupied by security forces.
