Gathering for offering namaz and roza-iftar will not be allowed during Ramzan in Uttarakhand to maintain social distancing, an official said on Friday.

Uttarakhand DG (Law and Order) Ashok Kumar said COVID-19 lockdown restrictions will strictly be followed in the state even during Ramzan.

"I want to make a few things clear. There will be no collective namaz, neither in mosques nor at homes. Collective roza-iftar too will not be allowed," the director general said.

The DMs and SPs can permit recitation of azan at a low volume in their areas, Kumar added.
