Qadri further said that there were some incidents related to the prayer gatherings which is tragic. Earlier on Friday, a woman SHO was injured while trying to stop people from praying in large numbers at a mosque in the city.
The incident took place in Peerabad, Orangi Town when police came under attack after attempting to stop a large number of people from offering prayers in a mosque over violation of Section 144. The police contingent came under attack when they were pelted with stones.
As the number of coronavirus cases continues to rise throughout Pakistan, the government has banned more than five persons [Imam, Muazzin and other management] from offering prayers in a mosque.
