Kashmir's first INOX multiplex in Srinagar's Somwar area having three movie theatres with a total capacity of 520 persons will also be open to the public from next week, according to Mint.

Up until the late 1980s, the Valley was home to almost a dozen independent movie theatres, but they were forced to close their doors after receiving threats from two militant outfits. Although authorities tried reopening several of the theatres in the late 1990s, militants foiled those efforts by attacking the Regal Cinema in Lal Chowk with a devastating grenade in September 1999.
