In Indian occupied Jammu and Kashmir, Eid-ul-Fitr celebrations were a low-key affair on Sunday (May 24, 2020) as most of the faithful marked the culmination of the fasting month of Ramadan by offering thanksgiving prayers at home in view of the strict military siege by Indian authorities. 

No Eid prayers were offered for the second consecutive time in major mosques and shrines as Indian Army and police had enforced restrictions in most parts of the valley including Srinagar city.

People were forced to offer Eid prayers at home, either individually or in small groups comprising family members.
