No fairs will be permitted near Durga Puja mandaps this year in Bangladesh as these typically see anti-social components collecting for taking in marijuana and alcohol, stated home affairs advisor Md Jahangir Alam Chowdhury on Monday, ahead of the biggest spiritual celebration for minority Hindus in the nation, reports Ahsan Tasnim.
“This time, fairs will not be permitted. However, one or two shops may be allowed, but only with the permission of puja celebration committees,” he informed press reporters following a preparatory conference ahead of Durga Puja. Asked if committees revealed issues, he stated they had not and they revealed optimism that the Puja celebration would be commemorated quietly. The consultant stated around 33,000 puja mandaps are anticipated to be established nationwide this year. To improve security throughout the events, a mobile application has actually been established.
