Preparations underway for Eid ul Fitr prayers
The Telangana State Waqf Board and GHMC sanctioned funds for taking up various works at the Eidgahs for Eid ul Fitr prayers. Arrangements are being made on war footing at the Eidgahs in and around the city.
At the nearly two-century-old Eidgah Mir Alam, the workers are giving a fresh coat of whitewash to the arch and the walls. The workers leveled the uneven muddy paths and grounds on the road leading to the Eidgah from Bahadurpura junction. The road is in bad condition after the construction of the Aramgarh flyover.
The workers inside the main periphery of Eidgah are removing the weeds that protrude out of the stone flooring.

People from various neighbouring districts of Hyderabad like Vikarabad, Nalgonda, Medak, Sangareddy, Mahabubnagar and Ranga Reddy visit the Eidgah to attend the congregational prayers.
