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.
Only the Imams and staff members would be allowed to perform the Namaz inside the mosque.
The circular adds that organisations of Iftaars and porridge distribution points inside Mosque and Dargah premises will not be allowed. No eatery shops will also be allowed in such areas.
Here is the full circular issued by the Minority Welfare secretary:

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
