The Indian Union Muslim League on Saturday urged the Chief Secretary to supply raw rice to mosques to prepare Nombu Kanji during the Ramzan period.
In a statement, it pointed out that a government order had not been issued till now allotting rice as had been done last year. The IUML urged the government to issue a direction in this regard immediately.
It also requested that permission be granted to keep mosques open till 10 p.m. instead of 8 p.m. as had been stipulated under the new set of restrictions imposed to control the spread of COVID-19.
