AGARTALA, April 26 (TIWN): Chief Minister Biplab Deb on Sunday while addressing his state, has praised the Muslim community of Tripura, who have cited example of maturity by observing Ramadan with social distances in mosques.

He said, “My Muslim brothers have done an excellent job. At the same time, today is Akshay Tritiya and also it has been a month of Raja. Let’s walk in the path of God with full determination to overcome the ongoing crisis situation”.

Due to COVID19 lockdown, mosques remained crowd-free in Tripura on auspicious Ramadan festival.

 Not only in Tripura but Muslims around the world began marking Ramadan under coronavirus lockdown on Friday with unprecedented bans on family gatherings and mass prayers, while a pushback in some countries sparked fears of a surge in infections.
Widespread rules have been imposed banning praying in mosques or meeting relatives and friends for large "iftar" meals at dusk - a centrepiece of the month-long fast.
