Sambhal's Shahi Jama Masjid Seeks ASI Approval for Ramzan Preparations

The Shahi Jama Masjid in Sambhal has requested the ASI for permission to clean and decorate the mosque before Ramzan. Committee President Zafar Ali stated the tradition has been upheld for centuries without issues. They seek formal approval to ensure peace and avoid potential conflicts.

The Shahi Jama Masjid management in Sambhal has made a formal request to the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) for permission to carry out cleaning, painting, and decoration ahead of Ramzan.

According to Committee President Zafar Ali, the mosque has traditionally undergone these activities without ASI objections, but official approval is sought to uphold peace and harmony.

Ali noted a past incident in 2018 concerning a grill installation, which has bolstered their decision to seek ASI's nod for preserving custom and ensuring harmonious celebrations.
