According to reports, on Thursday the Sri Lankan government ordered to lift the ban on the burial of bodies of people who have died of COVID-19.
As per reports from last year, the Sri Lankan government had imposed restrictions in March that the bodies of COVID-19 victims could only be cremated which triggered protests by Muslim groups.
PM Khan welcomed his Sri Lankan counterpart Mahinda Rajapaksa for his assurance given in Sri Lankan Parliament today allowing Muslims to bury those who died from COVID-19.
