Div Com asks Imams, Khateebs in Srinagar to help with CAB

SRINAGAR: Divisional Commissioner Kashmir, Pandurang K Pole, on Saturday held a meeting with prominent religious personalities of district Srinagar, including Imams and Khateebs of shrines and mosques, regarding strict enforcement of Covid Appropriate Behaviour (CAB) by people in view of a possible third wave of Covid-19.
