Sambhal Police Enforce Safety Rules for Friday Prayers Amid Tensions

Traditional prayers inside mosques allowed, but rooftop and road gatherings prohibited to prevent accidents and ensure public safety.

Sambhal police emphasize that traditional prayers inside mosques and Eidgahs remain unrestricted and will proceed peacefully.
Gatherings for Friday prayers on roads and rooftops are prohibited due to safety concerns, including risks of accidents and traffic disruptions.
These safety measures have been clarified during peace committee meetings and are consistent with longstanding regulations in the region.
Significant police deployment has been organized under a sector and zone system to ensure peace during 'Alvida' prayers on the last Friday of Ramadan.
Samajwadi Party MP Zia-ur-Rahman Barq may approach the Allahabad High Court to challenge these regulations, though police reiterate that no one is being stopped from traditional prayer practices.
