With the sighting of the moon, holy month of Ramzan began on Friday.

Shahi Imam of Delhi's Jama Masjid Syed Ahmed Bukhari announced it on Friday evening. Muslims around the country will now start the fasting for the month-long festival from on Saturday.

Shahi Imam appealed people to offer prayers at homes and maintain social distancing. He appealed people not invite their neighbours to their house to offer prayers during Ramzan and ensure that there are not more than three people in one room even while offering prayers with family.
