However, authorities did not allow Eid prayers at the eidgah and historic Jamia Masjid in the old Srinagar city. A large posse of security forces was deployed at both the places.

The Anjuman Auqaf Jama Masjid had announced that Eid prayers will be held at the eidgah in the old city at 10 am and urged authorities not to put curbs on the religious event.
