The Hyderabad traffic police have issued detailed traffic restrictions in preparation for the Eid ul Fitr prayers at Mir Alam Eidgah.

Vehicular traffic towards Eidgah and Tadban areas will not be permitted. Instead, vehicles will be diverted at Bahadurpura crossroads towards Kishanbagh, Kamatipura, and Puranapul. This diversion aims to ease congestion and facilitate the movement of worshippers towards the Eidgah grounds.
At the Danamma Huts crossroads, vehicles heading towards Eidgah will be redirected towards Shastripuram, NS Kunta, and other alternative routes. Similarly, at Kalapather, traffic will be diverted towards Mochi Colony, Bahadurpura, Shamsheergunj, and Nawab Saheb Kunta. These diversions are put in place to ensure a systematic flow of vehicles and prevent gridlock in the vicinity of the prayer grounds.
For the convenience of worshippers, special arrangements have been made for those coming from Puranapul, Kamatipur, and Kishanbagh. They will be allowed to proceed through Bahadurpura crossroads towards Mir Alam Eidgah, ensuring easy access to the prayer venue.
In addition to these measures, the traffic police have outlined specific diversions for RTC buses and heavy vehicles.

Eid ul Fitr, the joyous festival that signifies the end of the holy month of Ramadan, will be celebrated in India on Thursday. This decision comes as the moon was not sighted yesterday, confirming that Ramadan will last a full 30 days this year.
In Hyderabad and various other parts of the country, the Eid ul Fitr celebrations will commence with the offering of namaz (prayers) at mosques and Eidgahs. These prayers hold significant spiritual importance for Muslims, symbolizing gratitude for the strength and devotion shown throughout the month of fasting and reflection.
However, Eid ul Fitr will be observed earlier in certain regions. Across the state of Kerala, as well as in the beautiful regions of Leh and Kargil, the festival will be celebrated on Wednesday. This variance in celebration dates is attributed to the traditional practice of determining Eid ul Fitr based on the sighting of the crescent moon.
The significance of Eid ul Fitr extends beyond its religious observance; it serves as a time of joy, unity, and reflection for the Muslim community worldwide. Families come together to share festive meals, exchange gifts, and offer prayers of gratitude for the strength and guidance received during Ramadan.
During Eid ul Fitr, it is customary for Muslims to give to the less fortunate, a practice known as “Zakat al-Fitr” or “charity of fast-breaking”. This act of charity ensures that everyone in the community can partake in the celebrations and experience the joy of Eid.
The festival also embodies the spirit of unity and compassion, as people reach out to friends, neighbors, and those in need to spread love and kindness. Houses and streets are adorned with colorful decorations, and the aroma of delicious traditional dishes fills the air.
While the exact traditions and customs may vary from region to region, the essence of Eid ul Fitr remains consistent – a time of renewal, gratitude, and community spirit. Muslims across India and around the globe eagerly anticipate this special day, eagerly preparing for the celebrations and festivities that mark the end of Ramadan.
As the crescent moon appears, signaling the end of the holy month, Muslims join together in prayer, reflection, and celebration, embodying the values of compassion, generosity, and gratitude that define Eid ul Fitr.
