Srinagar, Sep 4 : Even though there was no official holiday today,
people are still in Eid mood in Kashmir Valley, where majority parks and
gardens, including those on the bank of Dal Lake, are flooded with children and
other tourists.
However, elders are still busy distributing meat of animals sacrificed on Eid-ul-Azha, being celebrated since September 2, marking the culmination of the annual pilgrimage to the holy Mecca and remembering the sacrifice of Hazrat Abraham.
Majority media offices remained closed for the second consecutive day today in view of Eid in the valley, where not a single local newspaper hit the stands since yesterday.
