Prime Minister Muhammad Tarique has concluded a divisional tour focused on visiting durga puja mandaps, returning to Dhaka after inspecting celebrations across three administrative divisions. The visit underscored the government's engagement with minority religious communities during one of the Hindu calendar's most significant festivals.
During the tour, the Prime Minister visited puja pandals in multiple locations, observing preparations and decorations for the Durga Puja celebrations. The visits demonstrated the administration's support for the safe and festive observance of the religious occasion by Bangladesh's Hindu minority population.
The Prime Minister's engagement with puja mandaps forms part of a broader government initiative to ensure communal peace and religious tolerance during festival seasons. Such visits have become customary for Bangladesh's leadership to affirm the nation's secular principles and multi-religious character.
Durga Puja, celebrated annually across Bangladesh, particularly in Dhaka and other major cities, draws significant participation from Hindu communities and attracts visitors from all faiths. The government has maintained measures to ensure security and smooth conduct of festivities throughout the celebration period.
