Srinagar: Hundreds of devotees are expected to throng the revered Hazratbal shrine here and other major mosques and religious places on the occasion of Eid-e-Milad-un-Nabi on Tuesday.
Special congregational prayers are also expected at Jenab Sahib Soura, Asar-i-Sharif Shahri Kalashpora, Lal Bazar, Khanqah-i-Maula, Ziarat Hazrat Dastgeer Sahib (RA), Syed Yaqoob Sahab (RA) Sonwar, Khawaja Naqshband Sahab (RA) and Ziarat Makhdoom Sahib (RA).
However, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Wakf Board, Mufti Farid-ud-din told a local news agency that it has been decided to allow only a limited number of devotees at the shrine to participate in the night-long prayers.
The decision was taken in order to prevent the deadly virus from spreading, he said, adding that the devotees, who are living close to the shrine and are scheduled to participate in the night-long prayers, have been asked to follow the Covid Standard operating Procedures (SOPs) in letter and spirit.
CEO Wakf Board informed that despite allowing a limited number of devotees, the board has taken adequate measures with regard to the Covid related SOPs.
