Auqaf says authorities denied Shab-e-Barat prayer permission at Jama Masjid in Kashmir

Authorities have denied permission for Shab-e-Barat prayers at Srinagar's historic Jama Masjid. Mirwaiz Umar Farooq's movement has also been restricted. The mosque's gates were directed to remain closed after afternoon prayers. This action continues a pattern of restrictions on religious gatherings at the mosque since 2019.
