- Second phase of Ijtema starts today
The second phase of Bishwa Ijtema begins today amid countrywide blockade enforced by the BNP-led 20-party alliance. The religious meet will begin after Fajr prayers today and will end with Akheri Munazat on Sunday.
Additional law enforcement members have been deployed to ensure security for the Muslim devotees coming in to join the Ijtema this weekend, said Harun Or Rashid, superintendent of police in Gazipur, adding that the additional security will remain at the venue and the surrounding areas until it ends.
“We have already strengthened the security system as well as the traffic management for the second phase. We are helping the devotees on their way to join the Ijtema,” he said.
Engineer Gias Uddin, one of the organisers, said: “The Ijtema ground was cleaned after the first phase. It is now prepared and ready for the second phase.”
Mohammad Nurul Islam, deputy commissioner of Gazipur district, said the district administration was supervising the coordination among different departments following the instruction of the Ministry of Home Affairs to conduct the Ijtema smoothly until the end.
Two additional compartments have been added to each train transporting Ijtema devotees. Twenty magistrates will be in charge of the law and order at the venue.
People started coming in from Wednesday, and thousands have already reached the venue despite the countrywide blockade and hartal.
