About 60 Hindu inmates lodged in a jail in Muzaffarnagar are observing ‘roza’, the down-to-dusk fast during Ramzan along with 1,150 Muslim prisoners.

The holy month of Ramzan commenced on Tuesday.

Special arrangements have been made for the inmates to perform prayers and enjoy their pre-dawn ‘sehri’ meal and evening meals known as ‘iftars’.

Food items like seasonal fruits, dates, 500 gram milk and various other snacks are being made available to them, jail officials said.
