No Eid prayer at Srinagar Eidgah, Jamia Masjid namaz can’t go beyond 7am

Congregational prayers will not be held at Srinagar’s rain-washed Eidgah grounds this Eid and the special namaz at the 15th-century Jamia Masjid in the heart of the city’s old quarters must be over by 7am to ensure public safety as terrorists could target the grand mosque milling with hundreds of faithful on that day. Eid al-Fitr begins Monday after sunset and ends next evening.
