Sindh Government on Wednesday announced that the prevalent novel coronavirus related lockdown in the province will be made stricter on account of Shab-e-Barat.
Sindh government has asked the people to observe the day of religious reverence at home and offer prayers from the safety of their residential confines.
Traditionally, people visit their departed loved ones graves and offer prayers for their afterlife but due to the coronavirus pandemic, Sindh government has strictly prohibited the activity.
Sindh government spokesperson said that the people intending to make their way to the cemeteries will be stopped and asked to go back, no such action will be allowed which could gather a possible crowd at one place at one time.
Those that are found disobeying the protocol would have to deal with the legal consequences of their actions, said the Provincial government spokesperson.
