in G. asperuloides fruits are covered with long hooked hairs. Here they are glabrous.

Please have a look at my upload of G. asperuloides from Khillenmarg

Please also note that G. asperuloides is distributed above altitudes of 2600 m, whereas Nishan in Srinagar has altitude of only 1600 m.

We can think about G. asperifolium

More images from same population leads me to G. ghilanicum

Out of the two, I think Galium asperifolium is a better option as per POWO specimen and FoP compared to G. ghilanicum as per POWO specimen and FoC.
