Over one lakh attend Eid congregation at Gor-E-Shahid Eidgah Maidan

One of country’s largest Eid-ul-Azha congregations was held at Gor-E-Shahid Eidgah Maidan in Dinajpur on Saturday morning amid much enthusiasm and religious fervor. 

The Eid congregation took place at 8am, led by Maulana Mahfujur Rahman. 

Over one lakh devotees attended the Eid congregation.

Devotees from Dinajpur and various parts of the country expressed their happiness after offering Eid-ul-Azha prayers peacefully in the congregation despite having intense heat. 

For the smooth conduct of the Eid prayer, preparations were made, including CC cameras, observation towers, and security arrangements. 

Huge number of BGB, RAB and police members were deployed there to ensure security. 

Gor-E-Shahid Eidgah Maidan is also the largest Eidgah Maidan in Asia. Having a 22.50-acre area, the Eidgah Maidan has been holding Eid prayers in greater context since 2017, although the Eid congregation has been continuing since 1947.
