# J&K Administration Seals Martyrs' Graveyard; Political Leaders Pay Homage at Party Offices
Authorities in Jammu and Kashmir restricted public access to Srinagar's Martyrs' Graveyard on Monday, preventing citizens from visiting the site. In response, political leaders including Omar Abdullah and Mehbooba Mufti paid homage to the martyrs at their respective party offices instead of at the graveyard itself.
The sealing of the graveyard follows earlier administrative measures, including the removal of July 13 and December 5 from the list of public holidays in the region. The timing of the access restriction is notable given that Omar Abdullah had bypassed barricades to reach the graveyard during a similar incident last year, drawing public attention to the practice of commemorating those honored at the site.
