Traditional cannon fire signals the break of fast

Each day during Ramadan, a cannon is fired off at sunset to signify that it’s time to break the fast. Residents usually gather around to witness the (loud) spectacle, and authorities sometimes pass out water and snacks. The tradition seems particularly popular with kids.

Similarly in our countries, a big sound, buzzer goes on when it's time for Iftar, mostly in every community, locality, where mosques are not there or far off. Olden days no one had alarm clocks or sound system in mosques, since olden days these kind of things prevail.
