However, people were seen doing pc shopping by purchasing things in huge quantities.

Kamal, a customer told that things are available in the shops. "It is, however, obvious that the people have done pc shopping. I only wish that India emerges victorious against COVID-19."

Another customer Akram said: "Iftar is going to be very different this year. Isolation is important. We must observe social distancing for the larger good of the country. This is the time when we should be together."

The religious preachers have also requested the community people to offer prayers inside their houses and avoid any kind of social gathering.

Though the sheen of Ramzan will be missed this year, the celebrations with the family will bring forth the essence of the festivity.

The country is under lockdown till May 3. All religious places including mosques have been closed to stop the transmission of the highly contagious virus.
