Eidul Fitr is being celebrated across Pakistan on Sunday with traditional zeal amid a more sombre mood, following the Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) plane crash in Karachi and the ongoing Covid-19 outbreak that has affected over 53,000 people.
Eid congregational prayers were held in open grounds, mosques and Eidgahs across the country while following strict standard operating procedures (SOPs) issued by the government.
Special prayers were offered for the progress and prosperity of the country, for the welfare of the Muslim Ummah and for the Muslims in occupied Kashmir and Palestine.

Security was increased in the city to avoid any untoward incident on the first day of Eid.
