With Ramzan arriving soon, Advisor to Telangana government, Mohammed Ali Shabbir took stock of the arrangements being made for the holy month and interacted with contractors and directed them not to reduce the size of Secretariat mosques further and to ensure their protection.
Mr Shabbir inspected the temporary sheds that were erected in the open area close to the mosque. He underscored that the sheds would be kept till Ramzan comes to an end this year. Engineers and contractors have been directed not to carry out any construction activity further, and to keep the open area for the use of mosques.
The BRS government, he alleged, had reduced the size of Masjid Hashmi by more than half. Similarly, the size of Masjid-e-Moatamadi was reduced to 48 x 48 feet from the original dimensions of 100 x 60 feet. He also inspected other facilities like the ablution area, toilets, parking and other arrangements. Mr. Shabbir said that Taraweeh prayers would be offered in the Secretariat mosques during the month of Ramzan.
