A statement issued by the committee asked devotees to observe religious austerity inside their houses instead of thronging the revered shrine from April 15-18, the annual Urs days. The main ceremony is being observed on April 18, it said.
It appealed people to pray to the Almighty so as to get rid of the pandemic.
