Worshippers, like Muhammad Ashraf, said Eid is a blessing from Allah. However, the authorities did not allow mass prayers at the Grand Mosque in Srinagar, which remained closed. India and Pakistan both claim the divided territory of Kashmir in their own. Since 1989, rebels in the Indian-controlled portion of Kashmir have been engaged in an ongoing conflict against New Delhi's rule. This long-standing dispute has resulted in the loss of tens of thousands of lives, including civilians, rebels, and government forces. Resident Mushtaq Ahmed said he did not understand why the mosque is closed for Eid prayers.
