In a record breaking feat, more than 5000 people will join Kashmir's largest iftar. This will be second time when a record will be created in Jammu and Kashmir. Last year, Kashmir created history by hosting Asia's longest iftar on the banks of world famous Dal lake. Asia's longest iftar table measuring 1.03 kilometres was laid near Al Noor Mosque in Sharjah in 2013 but that record was broken when a spread of over 1.6 kilometres was held at the iftar and the dining spread surpassed the previous record.
The organizers say that there is no specific guest list. And that anybody can walk in and join the iftar. Everything will be served free here. The organizers are expecting guests over 5000 and will be serving meals to them accordingly. They add that it is a non-profit event and local sponsors have pitched in with their help. While some have donated cash, some have donated potable water, some have given juices.
