New Delhi, May 28: Ahead of Eid-ul-Adha (Bakrid) celebrations, the Madhya Pradesh Waqf Board has appealed to the Muslim community to offer prayers only at mosques and Eidgahs, urging people to avoid performing namaz on roads or public spaces.
The board issued special guidelines for Eid celebrations, emphasizing peace, communal harmony, and adherence to administrative protocols. Local authorities have been asked to make necessary arrangements in areas expecting large gatherings.
