Mangaluru: Taking note of the viral messages that are doing round on local social media platforms along with old video clips of Mangaluru Police Commissioner, Dr. PS Harsha saying that there was no curfew in the city today, Qazi Thwaqa Ahmed Musliyar has urged people to not pay heed to fake news and messages and called on them to offer Zuhr prayers at home.

He confirmed that there were no Juma Prayers being offered at any mosques in the city like the previous two Fridays.

He added that there will be no Friday prayers at any mosques in the District until any further official notice.

A similar statement was also issued by Udupi, Chikkamagaluru, Hassan District Qazi P.M. Ibrahim Musliyar urging people to pray Zuhr prayers at home until further notice from administration for Jumah prayers
