Cash, gold and copper utensils were among the things donated by people in some areas of Kashmir for the relief fund for war-hit Iran, officials said.

Expressing gratitude for the donations, the Iranian Embassy in a post on X said this act of kindness will “never be forgotten”.

A day after the Eid celebrations, youth in Shia-dominated areas of the valley on Sunday (March 22, 2026) went from house to house to collect donations for those affected by the West Asia war in Iran.

"There is huge devastation caused by this illegal war imposed on Iran by the Zionist regime of Israel and its supporters. The least the civilised world can do is send aid to the suffering people of Iran," Aijaz Ahmad, a resident of Rainawari, said during the donation drive.

People from all walks of life, including men, women and children, participated in the donation drive, the officials said.
