The Sindh home department has issued a notification addressed to all the commissioners and deputy commissioners across the province regarding the implementation of standard operating procedures (SOPs) for Jumatul Wida and Eidul Fitr prayers.

"It is requested that the [interior ministry's] guidelines be complied in letter and spirit," the notification reads.

The notification follows the Sindh education minister Saeed Ghani's announcement yesterday confirming the same.

"A plan consisting of 20-point SOPs was agreed between the ulema and the federal government on congregational prayers in Ramazan. We have also consulted the respected ulema and have agreed to utilise the same SOPs for Jumatul Wida and Eid prayers in Sindh," Ghani had said.
