Attention: BTV
I want to draw the attention of the authorities concerned to the timing of azan broadcast by BTV on 17 May. The time of maghrib azan was 6.37 approximately. We know the timing of mughrib azan depends on the sunset and thewaktfor maghrib prayer is very short and, therefore, the jamat takes place soon after the azan is given unlike the zohr, asr and esha prayers where thewakthas longer time span to pray after azan. As we know, one should pray as soon as the azan is given. But on 17 May BTV telecast the azan after 6:55pm, which was very very late for maghrib azan.
That must have created problems for the devotees who rely on BTV azan.
