Mosque Covered Ahead of Holi to Avoid Any Tension in Aligarh

Aligarh (Uttar Pradesh): A mosque was covered with tarpaulin before the festival of Holi to ensure it is not smeared with colour.

According to reports, for the purpose of maintaining peace and order, Abdul Karim Masjid at Aligarh’s most sensitive crossroad the “Halwaiyan” is covered with a tarpaulin at night so that it is not smeared with colours during Holi.

The mosque in the sensitive area was also covered with tarpaulin at night so that no one would throw colour on the mosque due to Holi.

“Ever since the government of Yogi Adityanath has come to Uttar Pradesh, the mosque is being covered for about 6 to 7 years. With the help of the administration, we cover the mosque so that no one throws colour or dirt,” said Aqeel Pahalwan.

The celebrations for Holi have already begun all over the country.
