The annual religious gatherings in Dhaka cause public sufferings and nuisance.
The Dhaka South City Corporation (DSCC) has decided not to allow Dewanbag Darbar Sharif organize its annual religious gathering or “Urs” in the capital considering the people’s suffering.
This decision came barely a month after the Dhaka North City Corporation (DNCC) denied Kutubbagh Darbar Sharif permission to hold it Urs.
Dewanbag’s media spokesperson Sayeed Mehedi Hasan said they would not organize their annual gathering in Dhaka if the city corporation did not permit them.
Kutubbagh has shifted its annual Urs and Ijtema to Narayanganj.
Dewanbag took initiative to hold its Urs this year in Arambagh, Fakirapool, Motijheel and Kamalapur like previous occasions. It is scheduled to take place on February 2 and 3.
It was planning to seek the DSCC’s permission but the city corporation made its stance clear before that.
Officials of the two city corporations said these types of annual gatherings involved a lot of work that led to traffic congestions, public sufferings and nuisance.
