Aligarh (Uttar Pradesh): <\/b><\/p>\n
A mosque in Aligarh has been covered with tarpaulin before the festival of Holi to ensure it is not smeared with colour.<\/p>\n
On the instructions of the police administration on Holi, for the purpose of maintaining peace and order, Abdul Karim Masjid at Aligarh’s most sensitive crossroad the “Halwaiyan” is covered with a tarpaulin at night so that it is not smeared with colours during Holi.<\/p>\n
Notably, like the last few years on Holi, the mosque in the sensitive area was also covered with tarpaulin at night so that no one would throw colour on the mosque due to Holi.<\/p>\n
Haji Mohammad Iqbal from\u00a0the mosque’s management body said, “On the instructions of the administration, we cover the mosque with tarpaulin so that no one can throw colour or dirt in the mosque.”<\/p>\n
Aqeel Pahalwan, a resident said, “Ever since the government of Yogi Adityanath has come in Uttar Pradesh, the mosque is being covered for about 6 to 7 years. With the help of the administration, we cover the mosque so that no one throws colour or dirt.”<\/p>\n
With Holi just around the corner, celebrations for the festival have already begun.<\/p>\n
