Main Eid congregation at Nat'l Eidgah at 8am

The main congregation of Eid-ul-Azha, the second largest religious festival of Muslims, will be held at the National Eidgah on the High Court premises at 08:00am, reports UNB.

However, if weather remains unfavourable or the main congregation is not held at the National Eidgah for any other reason the main congregation will be held at 08:30 am at Baitul Mukarram National Mosque.

The decision was taken at an inter-ministerial meeting on Eid-ul-Azha celebrations headed by State Minister for Religious Affairs Md Faridul Haque Khan at the Secretariat on Sunday.

Depending on the sighting of the moon, the holy Eid-ul-Azha is expected to be celebrated on July 10.
