Thick security blanket for Eid Jamaat
Thick security blanket for Eid Jamaat at Sholakia Eidgah Maidan
Preparations are in full swing at Sholakia Eidgah Maidan in Kishoreganj for the return of the country’s largest Eid-ul-Fitr congregation after a Covid-induced hiatus of two years.
This will be the 195th Eid congregation of Sholakia Eidgah, the largest Eid Jamaat in Asia.
The Islamic Foundation had banned all Eid congregations in the open and at Eidgah Maidan to prevent the outbreak of Covid-19 in the country in the last two years.
According to the Sholakia Eidgah managing committee, a four-tier security system has been put in place to ensure the safety of the devotees.
