The National Command and Operation Centre (NCOC) has banned all processions on Yaum-i-Ali in view of the "risk factor due to ongoing surge in Covid spread across the country and particularly in major urban centres".
However, majalis have been permitted to be held while strictly observing standard operating procedures (SOPs) already in place for Ramazan, the forum said in a statement.
The NCOC also emphasised the need to engage religious scholars and community leaders at provincial and district levels for the implementation of the forum's decisions.
