Hyderabad: There will be no Eid prayers in Telangana mosques as the state government has ordered closure of all places of worship during the 10-day lockdown beginning Wednesday.
A Government Order issued on Tuesday night following the Cabinet decision makes it clear that religious gatherings/congregations shall not be permitted.
The restrictions were imposed on the eve of Eid-ul-Fitr, the festival marking the culmination of Ramzan.
