Delhi: Hazrat Nizamuddin Dargah to reopen today

NEW DELHI: The Hazrat Nizamuddin Dargah will reopen after over five months on Sunday, but there will be no Qawwali evenings at the shrine due to the novel coronavirus pandemic. Safety measures like use of sanitisers and face covers, as well as social distancing, will be strictly followed at the dargah of Sufi saint Hazrat Nizamuddin.
"We have also covered the graves of Hazarat Nizamuddin Aulia and Amir Khusro (in the dargah complex) with plastic sheets so that people do not touch them while paying obeisance, as it could lead to people getting infected with the virus," Nazim Nizami, one of the caretakers of the shrine, said.The entry and exit points of the dargah will be separate, and markings have been made on the floor to ensure social distancing by devotees, Nizami added.
Two big sanitiser dispensers have been installed at the main entrance of the dargah.
