Eid Jamaat held at Sholakia amid tight security

Kishoreganj Correspondent: The largest Eid-ul-Fitr jamaat (congregation) of the country was held at the historic Sholakia Eidgah Maidan on Saturday with participation of over four lakh of devotees amid tight security.

Eminent Islamic scholar Maulana Faird Uddin Masud administered the 191th Eid jamaat at 10am.

A special munajat was offered seeking divine blessings for peace, development and welfare of the people of the country as well as the Muslim Ummah.

The Eidgah was filled with devotees before 9am. However, some devotees were seen returning back due to tight security measures and carrying mobile phones at the Sholakia Eidgah.

The security arrangements have been tightened against the backdrop of the militant attack at the Sholakia Maidan in 2016. Drones having cameras were used this year for the first time. 

The first Eid jamat was held in 1828 on this ground.
