All set for smooth celebration of Durga Puja: Khokon

DHAKA, Oct 3, 2019 (BSS) – Dhaka South City Corporation (DSCC) Mayor Sayeed Khokon today said all-out measures, including foolproof security, have been taken in the capital so that the Hindu community can celebrate their biggest religious festival, Durga Puja, smoothly and safely.

“Apart from ensuring foolproof security, roads were repaired, electric lamps were installed and cleanliness drives were conducted nearby the city temples so that the Hindu devotees can celebrate the Durga Puja smoothly and safely,” he said while visiting Ramakrishna Math and Ramakrishna Mission and Dhakeshwari National Temple here.

The city mayor visited the temples to observe the preparations of the Durga Puja celebration.

During his visit to the temples, Khokon greeted the members of the Hindu community on the occasion of the Durga Puja.

The government has ensured the religious freedom for all communities to hammer home the motto – ‘religion for individuals, festivals for all’, he said, hoping that the Hindu community would be able to celebrate their Durga Puja with festivity.

The DSCC mayor urged all communities irrespective of religion, caste and creed to work together to build the country in line with the spirit of communal harmony.

Ramakrishna Mission assistant secretary Shantikora Nanda informed the mayor of the preparations of the Durga Puja during his visit to the mission.

Later, Khokon visited the Dhakeshwari National Temple while leaders of the Bangladesh Puja Udjapan Parishad and the Mohanagar Sarbojonin Puja Committee were present.
