DMC Chairman Zafarul-Islam Khan urged Muslims to strictly obey curfew restrictions

New Delhi: Zafarul-Islam Khan, Chairman of the Delhi Minorities Commission (DMC), on Thursday urged the Muslims to strictly obey the curfew restrictions, adhere to social distancing norms and approach hospitals if symptoms of the coronavirus infection are detected.

He was reacting to the information that the Muslims in some minority-concentration areas like Old Delhi, Zakir Nagar, Seelampur, Jafarabad, and Old Hyderabad, were lax about the restrictions imposed by the government to control and contain the corona epidemic, the DMC said in a statement.

A noted Islamic scholar, Khan appealed to the Muslims to strictly obey the curfew restrictions. He also urged people to “approach hospitals if symptoms of the coronavirus infection are seen in any person who must be tested and quarantined if found positive or even suspect. Mingling of such persons with others poses great risk to others.” (IANS)
