Eid-ul-Fitr this Ramzan is expected to fall on April 22 or 23, depending on sighting of the moon. The last Friday of the holy month is an important night for Muslims (as according to Islam), as it is believed that the Quran was first revealed to the Prophet Muhammad on that night. Many Muslims stay up on the night and offer special prayers.
However, over the years, many youngsters also use the chance to simply zoon on their bikes (which is considered unruly by others who point out that such auspicious nights should not be misused), due to which the traffic police has imposed such restrictions.
