Tight Security Arrangements Ahead of Friday Prayers in Sambhal

Extensive security arrangements have been made in Sambhal ahead of Friday prayers. In Sambhal district of Uttar Pradesh, the police and administration have taken all necessary steps to ensure smooth arrangements. Following the stone-pelting incident near the Shahi Jama Masjid on November 24th, it has been decided to implement all possible security measures locally.

Currently, prohibitory orders under Section 163 of the Indian CrPC are in effect in Sambhal. In this regard, RAF (Republican Assembly Force) personnel have been deployed, who also conducted flag marches on Friday morning. To maintain peace and order during prayer time, metal detectors have been installed at the entrance of the Shahi Jama Masjid to prevent any suspicious activity. Friday prayers will be conducted under the supervision of 70 magistrates, who will ensure that all activities are carried out in accordance with the law.

The Commissioner of Moradabad, Anjaney Kumar Singh, stated that extensive arrangements have been made for security during prayers. Additionally, he mentioned that the area is being monitored through drones and CCTV cameras, enabling swift response to any suspicious incident.

The Commissioner appealed to local residents to come to the Shahi Jama Masjid for prayers in smaller numbers to avoid overcrowding. He warned that outsiders will not be allowed to offer prayers at the Jama Masjid. Companies of RAF and PAC (Para Military Force) have also been deployed, responsible for keeping a strict watch on suspicious activities.

The goal of all these preparations is to ensure that Friday prayers are conducted peacefully and harmoniously, and that there is a sense of security among the local community. All concerned parties are expected to cooperate.
