People requested to follow SOPs on Eid
The district administration appealed the general public to follow anti-corona SOPs voluntarily during Eidul Fitr to contain the spread of corona pandemic.
In a statement issued here on Wednesday, he said that the faithful should avoid gatherings and arrange Eid prayers at open spaces in parks or grounds.
He said that preventive measures were imperative to defeat corona and in this connection, the government issued SOPs to protect the precious lives of the people from this deadly disease. He said that the fears of corona spread were acute, adding the citizens should not show any negligence and carelessness in this regard. They should avoid shaking hands and hugging each other during Eid festivities, rather they should use face masks and adopt social distance to save their own lives and lives of their dear ones.
He said that if there was a large crowd of worshippers in any place, the Ulema should offer Eid prayers more than one time. It was better to hold Eid prayers in open spaces as per corona SOPs and if there was not open space for Eid prayers, then windows and doors of the mosques should be kept open fully, he added.
He further said that district administration started a massive public awareness campaign in addition to displaying banners on conspicuous places for implementation on corona SOPs.
