For the past two years, the celebrations were severely hit due to Covid pandemic. There was a ban on mass gatherings and so Eid prayers had to be offered at home. Markets were shut, guests were not welcomed and greeting others with a hug was ruled out. Now, all the restrictions have been lifted, joy and bonhomie are in the air on Sunday.

Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan felicitated and extended his good wishes to the people of the state on Eid-ul-Azha. He said that this festival gives a message of sacrifice, devotion and mutual trust and inspires to strengthen humanity and brotherhood. Chouhan has appealed to celebrate the festival with peace, harmony and accord as per the glorious tradition of India.
