SRINAGAR — The Shab-e-Baraat congregation, scheduled to be held at the historic Jamia Masjid Srinagar on March 29, the night of the 15 Sha’ban-ul-Muazzam after Isha prayers, has been cancelled in view of the fresh wave of COVID-19, the Anjuman Auqaf Jamia Masjid Srinagar announced on Saturday.
The statement further stated that due to Mirwaiz-e-Kashmir’s continued house detention since August 2019, Majlis Waz-o-Tableeg led by him cannot take place.
Anjuman, in a statement, said that the Shab-e-Baraat congregation stands cancelled in view of the guidelines issued by the World Health Organization (WHO) and medical experts in wake of the resurgence of COVID-19 cases.
Anjuman has appealed to people to religiously follow the COVID-19 guidelines and pray at their individual level for refuge from the deadly virus.
“Anjuman said it will soon announce a decision regarding the Taraweeh prayers in Jamia Masjid in the coming month of Ramadan,” reads the statement.
