Sayeed paid obeisance at the holy Hazratbal shrine in the outskirts of Srinagar and offered special prayers for the improvement of weather conditions in the state.
This was Sayeed's first visit to the revered shrine after taking over as the Chief Minister of the state last month.
Health Minister Choudhary Lal Singh, Education Minister Naeem Akhtar, local MLA and Minister of State for Health Asiya Naqash and Vice Chairman, Wakf Board, Peer Mohammad Hussain accompanied the Chief Minister and also offered prayers.
Sayeed also prayed for peace, prosperity and safety of the people of the state.
Interacting with the people, the Chief Minister assured them that the government would take necessary steps to improve the facilities in and around the shrine.
Heavy rains recently led the Jhelum river to swell and cause fresh floods that have so far claimed 17 lives in the state.
