Ludhiana: Ahead of Ramzan, the members of the Muslim community have demanded water supply at 3am so that they don’t face any problems during the fasting month.

Apart from this, they have asked the MC to maintain more cleanliness around Jama Masjid and other mosques in the city where they will go to pray in the holy month, and PCR monitoring early in the morning around Jama Masjid.

Mohammad Mustkeem, chief secretary of Shahi Imam Punjab from Jama Masjid, said he met mayor Balkar Sandhu on Sunday and requested him to ask the concerned officials to start water supply at 3am as many people would be observing fast during Ramzan.
