In the third week of April, Indiaâs raging pandemicâs second wave burst onto our phone screens with aerial images of burning pyres in crematoriums. Not very far away in the upper reaches of Pangi in Himachal, temperatures hit a sudden low due to heavy snowfall. Five migrant workers lay huddled in blankets on the floor of a public toilet of a local bus stand. They were among a group of 20 who had just entered the area to work for a contractor.

In the lack of any affidavit clarifying its stand on the issue by the Centre and the Delhi Police as directed by the court earlier, the Delhi High Court today permitted upto 50 persons to offer namaz 5 times a day in Bangley Wali Masjid of Nizamuddin Markaz in Delhi, which was shut since Mar 23 last year due to several FIRs against a Tablighi Jamat congregation amid the Covid-19 pandemic.
The order has been passed by a Single Judge bench of Justice Mukta Gupta on a plea moved by the Delhi Waqf Board seeking permission for performance of prayers during the month of Ramdan.
