DUSHANBE, August 3, 2011, Asia-Plus — The Dushanbe mayor’s office plans to involve imam-khatibs of “five-time” prayer mosques and Friday prayer mosques (larger facilities built for weekly Friday prayers) in tackling the price cutting problems in the city during the Islamic holy month of Ramadan.
Shavkat Saidov, a spokesman for the Dushanbe mayor’ office, says imam-khatibs of the Friday prayer mosques will carry explanatory work among merchants running their shops at the municipal bazaars, while imam-khatibs of the “five-time” prayer mosques will be involved in carrying out explanatory work among merchants running their shops at the private mosques.
Besides, appropriate commissions of the Dushanbe legislature (Majlis) will monitor delivery of food products to the city’s bazaars from the regions and inspect farms of Dushanbe’s bazaars located in districts subordinate to the center and Khatlon province, the spokesman said.
