Eid Ul Adha festival preparations at peak

Amid incessant rain and cold weather, days ahead of Eid Ul Zuha, Kashmiris are thronging the markets to buy clothes, food and firecrackers.

Most roads in this capital city are blocked because of traffic jams as shoppers come out of their homes early. Pavement sellers have spread their merchandise on the pedestrian malls, adding to the confusion on city roads.
