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.
