Delhi High Court permits reopening of Nizamuddin Markaz during Ramzan

The Delhi High Court on Friday permitted certain sections of the Nizamuddin Markaz to be reopened to allow devotees to offer prayers during the holy month of Ramzan. These sections had been locked since March 31, 2020, after several people who attended a religious congregation there contracted COVID-19. 

“It is directed that for Ramadan, namaz and religious prayers shall be permitted to be offered on the ground floor and four floors at ‘Masjid Bangle Wali’. This arrangement is only for the one month of Ramzan culminating with Eid Ul Fitr,” Justice Jasmeet Singh said.

The High Court, however, clarified that only religious prayers and namaz will be allowed during this period. It clarified that, during the period specified, “no Tablighi activities” will be allowed.
