This decision, announced on February 15, 2026, aims to enhance safety and public order during the holy month. A spokesperson for the district administration emphasized that no public Iftar setup will be permitted without prior registration, stating, "Individuals or groups planning to organize public Iftar setups must submit formal applications along with complete details." The administration will also identify suitable locations and provide essential facilities, including security, to ensure smooth management during peak Iftar hours.
