LUCKNOW: Saharanpur based famous Islamic seminary Darul Uloom Deoband has offered a part of its madrasa building 'Darul Quran' to be converted into an isolation facility for covid-19 patients , if a requirement arises.

In a letter to the state chief minister Yogi Adityanath , vice chancellor of Deoband Maulana Mufti Abdul Qasim Nomani on Monday wrote that the seminary is standing with the country in these times of coronavirus crisis and in dire circumstances, it is ready to convert the GT road situated building into an isolation ward.

The building 'Darul Quran' has been chosen by the institute after a decision to this effect was taken by the management. The letter apart from the CM has also been sent to the Saharanpur district magistrate and other administration officials on Monday.

Both of the Haj houses in UP--one in Lucknow and the other in Ghaziabad--are already in the government's plan of being converted into isolation facilities for covid-19 cases.
