ISLAMABAD, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 21st Jul, 2021 ) :People could not offer Eid prayers due to continued military siege and restrictions imposed by the authorities at big mosques in Indian illegally Occupied Jammu Kashmir(IIOJK) on Eid-ul-Azha, one of the biggest Muslim festival.
According to Kashmir Media Service (KMS), authorities restricted people from offering in historical Jamia Masjid, Dargah Hazratbal, Eidgah and other big mosques in the territory.
All the mosques and the shrines including Kashmir's largest mosque, Jamia Masjid Srinagar, were closed. Kashmiri Muslims were also unable to sacrifice bovines freely in the territory.
