The Karnataka State Minority Welfare, Waqf and Hajj Department in a circular has directed that no five-time public prayer congregations including Jummah and Taraveeh prayers would be allowed at mosques during Ramzan till the lockdown is in place, ANI has reported.
The circular adds that no mosque members would be allowed to use the public address system during the Ramzan namaz and it can only use it during the Azaan that too at a low decibel.
