Mufti Mohammad Sayeed died on this day last year due to multiple organ failure at AIIMS hospital in New Delhi.

However, due to heavy snowfall many programs were called off.
“To commemorate the first death anniversary of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) founder and former Chief Minister, Mufti Mohammad Sayeed, a function is being organised at Sher-e-Kashmir Indoor Stadium Srinagar today,” said party a communiqué.
