Milad-Un-Nabi: Hyderabad Police Deny Permissions for Processions

Permissions to conduct religious programmes late in the evening or at night in the city on occasion of Milad-un-Nabi (Prophet Mohammed’s birth anniversary) are being rejected by the city police. The cops in Hyderabad are not allowing events taking into consideration the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, a police official said.

A senior cop stated that the Hyderabad police has been receiving applications from various organisations in view of Milad-un-Nabi to organise events like the ‘Jalsa-e-Milad-un-Nabi’. “However, till now, permissions have not been granted to conduct any programmes in the night or day time,” he added

Mufti Mohammed Asif Bilal Quadri, President of Tahreek-E-Islami, said, “Every year we use to conduct a Milad rally from the Sunni Markaz Nampally, but this year there will not be any rally as the city has witnessed floods and people have faced losses. We are encouraging people to provide financial help to the flood victims instead and are also asking everyone to be cautious in their day-to-day life by implementing social distancing, using face masks and utilizing of hand sanitizers as COVID-19 is still around us. Therefore we can’t be complacent.” Siasat News
