Dr Alvi has aslo been visiting Mosques to review the conditions and how they are implementing the precautionary measures in the 20 point agreement of Ulema and the government.
A recent view by an NGO of several mosques in Punjab and Islamabad however disclosed that over 80 percent were violating those agreements but there has been no news on any action being taken regarding that.
