Srinagar, March 02, 2025 – In preparation for the Holy Month of Ramzan-ul-Mubarak 2025, which commenced across India on March 2 following the sighting of the crescent moon, the District Administration Srinagar has taken proactive steps to ensure a seamless experience for residents. A 24/7 Joint Control Room has been established at the Deputy Commissioner’s Office to guarantee the smooth and hassle-free availability of basic facilities for the general public throughout the sacred month.
The initiative, announced by the District Administration on March 1, aims to address the essential needs of Srinagar’s residents during Ramzan, a time of fasting, prayer, and community reflection for Muslims worldwide. The control room will operate round-the-clock, serving as a centralized hub to monitor and coordinate the supply of critical services such as electricity, water, food rations, and transportation. This move reflects the administration’s commitment to minimizing disruptions and ensuring that the public can observe the holy month with ease and dignity.
The establishment of the Joint Control Room comes as part of broader efforts by the Jammu and Kashmir administration to support citizens during significant religious observances. With Ramzan-ul-Mubarak expected to conclude around March 30 or 31—pending the moon sighting for Eid-ul-Fitr—the control room will remain operational throughout the fasting period, providing a reliable point of contact for addressing grievances and emergencies.
While specific operational details—such as staffing or contact numbers—have not been fully disclosed in the initial announcement, the administration is expected to release further information in the coming days. The move builds on similar efforts in previous years, where district administrations across Jammu and Kashmir have set up control rooms to manage public services during Ramzan, ensuring a coordinated response to logistical challenges.
This year’s Ramzan holds special significance as it coincides with ongoing efforts by the Jammu and Kashmir government to enhance public welfare under various developmental schemes. The District Administration Srinagar, led by Deputy Commissioner Dr. Bilal Mohi-Ud-Din Bhat, has emphasized its dedication to facilitating a peaceful and comfortable fasting period for all residents.
As the holy month unfolds, the 24/7 Joint Control Room at the DC Office stands as a testament to the administration’s proactive approach, ensuring that Srinagar’s citizens can focus on their spiritual observances without the burden of logistical concerns. Residents are encouraged to stay updated through official channels for any additional announcements regarding the control room’s services.
