Eid-ul-Fitr was celebrated with enthusiasm and zeal in the city on Friday. A large number of Muslims offered prayers at Jama Masjid, Hall Bazaar, to mark the end of the holy month.
Maulana of the mosque greeted and addressed the gathering on the occasion. The gathering did not bother about the Covid-19 restrictions. Violating the social distancing norms, devotees hugged each other.
Atif, a fruit seller, said, “I wanted to celebrate the festival at my home town in UP, but due to the Covid restrictions I could not arrange for transportation. So I visited Eidgah on Sultanwind Road and offered prayer.”

At some check-posts, police were seen sitting idly and rarely stopping people for checking movement pass .
