Friday prayers allowed at Srinagar’s Jamia Masjid after 4 months

The Jammu and Kashmir administration allowed people to offer Friday prayers at the iconic Jamia Masjid in Srinagar after a period of over four months.

The 600-year-old mosque, which was closed for prayers after the abrogation of Article 370 on August 5, was opened the first time for routine prayers on Wednesday after 136 days when



security was removed from the four main gates of the mosque.

Today, the administration has finally allowed people to offer Friday prayers at Jamia Masjid after almost 137 days.

"Today no restrictions were placed near Jamia Mosque and people gathered for Friday prayers here," one of the locals said to reporters.
