Online Report : The government has implemented extensive security measures nationwide to ensure the peaceful observance of Eid-e-Miladunnabi, which will be commemorated on Sunday with due religious solemnity.

Special attention is being given to facilitating safe and orderly congregations and processions in major cities, including Dhaka, Chattogram, Sylhet, Khulna and Rajshahi.

The occasion marks both the birth and passing of Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) and is observed with great reverence by Muslims around the world.

Home Adviser Lieutenant General (Retd) Md Jahangir Alam Chowdhury has directed all law enforcement agencies to remain on high alert and ensure strict security arrangements, particularly at key religious sites such as large mosques and venues expected to host significant gatherings.

Enhanced surveillance and continuous patrolling are already underway in sensitive areas.

Authorities have also introduced robust crowd control strategies and traffic management plans to prevent any untoward incidents and to ensure the smooth flow of both vehicles and devotees.

Various government and non-government organisations, including the Islamic Foundation, have organised a range of religious programmes to commemorate the occasion.

Eid-e-Miladunnabi, observed on 12th of Rabiul Awal in Hijri calendar, marks the birth of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) in 570 AD in Makkah, Saudi Arabia.

The Prophet, who brought a message of peace, compassion and justice to humanity, also passed away on the same date.
