Anjuman Auqaf Jama Masjid on Thursday said that following Asr prayers, authorities allegedly closed the gates of Jamia Masjid Srinagar and police personnel asked worshippers to vacate the mosque premises. A statement by Anjuman stated that Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, who was expected to lead the prayers at the mosque, was also placed under house arrest earlier this morning.

Meanwhile, CM Omar Abdullah in a post on X said, “It is very unfortunate that the security establishment has taken the decision to seal the historic Jamia Masjid, Srinagar, on one of the holiest nights in the Islamic calendar – Shab-e-Baraat.”

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
