Leaders, workers and supporters of the PDP were joined by people from various walks of life to offer their condolences to Mehbooba and her other family members.
There were no restrictions on people visiting the bereaved family but the condolence meetings were kept away from the media.
A PDP leader said that the condolence meetings will continue at the Gupkar residence tomorrow while congregational prayers (fateha khwani) will be held at Dara Shikoh Park at Bijbehara at 11 am on Sunday.
