DHAKA: The main jamaat of Eid-ul-Fitr is scheduled to be held at National Eidgah on Bangladesh Supreme Court premises at 8.30am Saturday (June 16).

The decision will depend on moon-sighting too.

Dhaka South City Corporation (DSCC) Mayor Sayeed Khokon came up with the announcement while talking to the reporters after inspecting the preparations at National Eidgah Thursday (June 14).

“All sorts of preparation have been carried out. Measures have been taken for around 1 lakh worshippers to perform the prayers together,” he said.

Besides, around 5 thousand female can perform the prayers at the jammat there.

Meanwhile, strict security measures have been taken to ensure safety at various eidgahs in the capital city including the National Eidgah.
