Staff Reporter :
The country’s biggest Eid congregation of the country will be held on Sholakia Eidgah Maidan in Kishoreganj. All preparations have been completed for Eid congregations.
“We have bought the Sholakia Eidgah under unprecedented security arrangement with deployment of five platoons of Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) personnel and a large number of police, RAB and Ansar personnel,” Kishoreganj Police Super Md Anwar Hossain said.
Plain clothed personnel from different intelligence agencies have been entrusted with strict vigilance in and around Sholakia, he also said.
Closed Circuit Camera Televisions (CCTVs) and watch towers have been set up at each of the entry points of Kishoreganj town and the Sholakia Eidgah to make the security foolproof. None will be allowed to enter the Eidgah without search. Police are now conducting search at each of the houses and the house owners have been asked not to rent out their houses to new tenants. The largest Eid jamaat was held at the Sholakia last year even after the deadly militant attacks at the Eidgah.
The 190th jamat on the maidan will be held at 10.00am that will begin following the custom of opening blank fire on the Eid day.
