Eid‑ul‑Azha is being celebrated across the country with religious fervour and enthusiasm, as devotees gathered at mosques and prayer grounds to offer special namaz and perform the ritual of Qurbani (sacrifice). The festival, also known as Bakrid, commemorates the willingness of Prophet Ibrahim to sacrifice his son in obedience to God’s command.
Large congregations were witnessed in major cities and towns, with prayers followed by community feasts and distribution of sacrificial meat among relatives, neighbours, and the underprivileged. Authorities ensured security and crowd management at prominent prayer sites to facilitate smooth celebrations.
Leaders and public figures extended greetings, emphasizing the values of compassion, sacrifice, and unity that Eid‑ul‑Azha represents. The festival also saw vibrant markets and social gatherings, reflecting joy and togetherness among communities.
