Srinagar, July 21: COVID-19 and incessant rains marred Eid-ul-Adha celebrations across Kashmir with major Masjids and prayer grounds empty across the Valley.
Among the major Masjids in the city, where no Eid prayers were held include historical Jamia Masjid Srinagar, Dargah Hazratbal, Dastgeer Sahib, Khankah-e-Moula and several other major Masjids.
Most of the major mosques here that normally attract large congregations remained closed, in view of the COVID-19 pandemic and guidelines issued by the administration.
People in the Srinagar city largely celebrated Eid-ul-Adha, the festival of sacrifice in their homes today, paying heed to appeals made by the authorities in view of the COVID-19.
