Passports of those offering namaz on roads to be revoked !

Warning from Meerut Police Chief, UP

Meerut – Ahead of Eid-ul-Fitr and last Friday prayers of Ramzan, Meerut Police has issued strict warnings against unauthorised roadside prayers, saying violators will face strict legal action that may lead to their passports getting cancelled and driving licences revoked.

SP City Ayush Vikram Singh reiterated that Eid prayers should be offered at local mosques or designated Eidgahs and that no one should perform Namaz on the roads.

“Last year, some individuals defied the directives and prayed on the roads, leading to action against more than 80 people. This time, anyone violating the rule will face strict legal action,” Jayant Singh told, adding that notices have already been issued regarding this.

He also warned that those involved in such cases may have their passports and licences revoked.

“If criminal cases are registered against individuals, their passports and licenses can be cancelled, and obtaining a new passport would become difficult without a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the court. Such documents remain confiscated until the individuals are cleared by the court,” Jayant Singh explained.

Meerut SSP Vipin Tada that security agencies are coordinating closely with district administration, religious leaders, and local stakeholders to ensure a peaceful celebration.

The administration also stated that prior permission from local authorities is required for religious programs. Gathering in large numbers in public places without permission should be avoided; otherwise, legal action will be taken, the warning added.
