In a reply to RTI application, the DOPT, Govt.
of India has accepted that it is allowed for the Muslim Government employees to
take a break of an hour during lunch time for Juma prayer on Fridays. The order
copy is attached here.
This can support Muslim employees in case of any
administrative hurdle in availing break for offering congregational Friday
prayers.
However, true believers with
devotion to duty as well never face any such hurdle at all; rather others also remind
them to offer prayers on time.
