: Friday prayers at mosques in the riot-hit areas of northeast Delhi passed off peacefully and no untoward incident was reported, local peace committee members said.
Local mosques had earlier in the day appealed for maintaining peace and harmony in the areas affected by communal clashes earlier this week.
After the Friday prayers, a delegation of peace committee members met senior police officers, including special commissioner (law and order) S N Shrivastava, at the office of the DCP (Northeast) in Seelampur.
“We have apprised the officers that the prayers were held without any trouble and no untoward incident has been reported from anywhere in the region,” Parvez Mian, a peace committee member and president of the All India Milli Council Delhi state, said.
