In Guwahati, the above restrictions are in place at Burha Jamia Masjid, Ambari; Rajdhani Masjid, Dispur; and Hatigaon Jamia Masjid.
Zaman added, "Since many faithful congregate to offer 'Tarabi Namaz' during Ramadan and also when regular 'namaz parva' is organized. Now, only 20 persons will be allowed during these religious occasions."
He urged all to follow the COVID-19 protocols to check further spike of pandemic cases.
