There is a ban on offering Namaz on roads in UP
Explain that following the instructions of the UP government on the occasion of Eid, the police of all the districts had issued an order that Namaz will not be read on the roads and such events will be held at the designated sites. The Meerut police had issued a directive saying that this year Eid prayers in the city would be limited to the prescribed places such as the nearest mosques and Faiz-e-Aam Inter College ground. After this instruction of the state government, Muslim religious gurus also appealed to the people to offer Eid prayers at the prescribed sites.

Waqf has become the center of personal selfishness: CM Yogi
Responding to a question on the Waqf (Amendment) Bill, Yogi Adityanath said that reform is the demand for times. He said, ‘Every good work is opposed. Similarly, there is an uproar on the Waqf Amendment Bill. Those who are creating a ruckus on this issue, I want to ask them … Has the Waqf Board done any welfare? Leave everything, has Waqf done any welfare of Muslims too? Waqf has become the center of personal selfishness. It has become a medium for forcibly occupying any government property and reform is the demand for times. Every reform is opposed. According to the country, time and situation, we should be ready for such reforms. I think the Muslim society will benefit the most from amending the Waqf law.
