Kishoreganj: Bangladesh's 'largest' Eid congregation with at least two lakh people at Sholakia Eidgah was held in the district on the occasion of Eid-ul-Fitr on Monday morning amid tight security.

Maulana Farid Uddin Masud, chairman of Islahul Muslimin Parishad, led the 190th Eid congregation that was held at 10:00 am.

Following the terrorist attack on the day of Eid-ul-Fitr on July 7 in 2016, a three-tier security arraignment was placed around the Eidgah this year to ensure foolproof security of the devotees.

Six main entrances among the 21 were opened for the devotees and they entered the Eidgah passing through the three steps of security.

Nine watchtowers and closed-circuit cameras were installed and additional members of Rapid Action Battalion (RAB), police and five platoons of BGB, along with other law enforcers in plainclothes, were deployed in and out of the Eidgah as part of the security.

Meanwhile, two special trains operated on Bhairab-Kishoreganj and Kishoreganj-Mymensingh routes to facilitate the movement of Sholakia-bound Muslim devotees.

Earlier on Sunday, Azimuddin Biswas, president of Sholakia Eidgah Managing Committee and deputy commissioner of the district, said "We've taken all preparations for the 190th Eid congregation giving importance to security."

At least four people, including two policemen, were killed and 10-15 others injured in a bomb explosion followed by a volley of gunfire near the country's largest Eid congregation at Sholakia Eidgah in Sadar upazila on July 7 last year.
