PESHAWAR: Worshippers ignored precautionary measures against coronavirus during Eid congregations in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on Thursday and exchanged greetings in the traditional way of shaking hands with and hugging each other.
However, thing traffic was reported on the roads due to the closure of public places and travel restrictions.
In Peshawar, the main Eid congregation was held at the Charasadda Road Eidgah.
Provincial chief khateeb Maulana Tayyab Qureshi delivered the sermon and led prayers.
Mosques hosted Eid prayers in both city and cantonment areas. However, worshipers flouted the standard operating procedures issued by the government to stem the spread of coronavirus and greeted each other by hugging and shaking hands.
