Comilla: In response to last year’s religious riots in our neighboring country, Bangladesh, security has been increased for Durga Puja celebrations this year. Muslims are the majority in Bangladesh. Hindus live as a minority. During the Durga Puja celebrations in Comilla last year, there were rumors that some people had insulted the holy nual of Muslims. After that riots spread. Hindu houses were attacked. Some were killed. Hindu places of worship were also looted.
In this case, Hindus living in Comilla city are making arrangements to celebrate Durga Puja this year. After this, security arrangements have been strengthened throughout the city. Considering the security, the police officials have ordered to hold the Durga Puja celebration inside the temple instead of outside the temple as a precautionary measure.
Regarding this, Comilla District Collector Mohammad Kamrul Hasan said: All arrangements have been made to celebrate the Durga Puja festival peacefully this year. We are talking to the Durga Puja worshipers. All necessary arrangements for worship and security have been made.
The Government of Bangladesh has ordered to ensure that no accidents occur. This is what he said.
