President Arif Alvi, after a meeting with ulema, has said that a 20-point plan has been agreed upon for people and mosques to follow during the holy month.

"Ramazan is a month of worship and Muslims love this month a lot. It was necessary that government's recommendations and ulema's recommendations be collected before any decision was taken," Alvi said during the press conference.

"Special prayers should be made for those in Kashmir during Ramazan," the president reminded the nation.
