Hundreds of devotees including cabinet members, political leaders, judges of the Supreme Court, diplomats, high civil and military officials and educationists offered their Eid-ul-Azha prayers at the National Eidgah Maidan. High security measures were taken surroundings the Eidgah.<\/p>\n
Five congregations were arranged at Baitul Mukarram National Mosque. The first one was held at 7.00am, the second one at 8.00am and the third one at 9.00am. The 4th and the 5th congregations were held at 10.00am and 10.45 am.<\/p>\n
