Moradabad, March 31: Ruckus broke out in the district on Monday when the namazis going to offer Eid ul Fitr (Eid) namaz were stopped at the Eidgah. There was a scuffle between the police and the namazis. The police officers and Muslim religious leaders were pacified by persuasion. After this, the namazis were allowed to offer namaz again.
To ensure that the Eid namaz is conducted safely and in an orderly manner, very strict security arrangements have been put in place in the Eidgah and all the areas around it. Police personnel have been deployed from the road to the roof.
District Magistrate Anuj Singh, Senior Superintendent of Police Satpal Antil, Additional District Officer Nagar Jyoti Singh, Superintendent of Police Nagar Kumar Ranvijay Singh and all the police and administrative officers have been keeping an eye on the entire area since morning. The movement of namazis had started in the Eidgah since morning.
Even before the namaz started, the entire Eidgah ground was filled with Namazis. Due to the ground being full, the policemen stopped the Namazis at a barrier before the Eidgah and told them that there is no space left in the Eidgah, so they should not go to the Eidgah. On this, the Namazis started creating a ruckus and shouting slogans. Some people started quarreling with the policemen. Seeing the ruckus increasing, the police and administrative officials reached the spot and explained to the Namazis. The police and Muslim religious leaders appealed to the people creating a ruckus that the city Imam Sahab will make you people offer Eid Namaz again. Only then did the Namazis creating a ruckus calm down.
After the Namaz ended, Senior Superintendent of Police Satpal Antil said that Eid Namaz was completed in an efficient and systematic manner in all the police station areas of Moradabad. All the officers, police personnel and Civil Defense wardens etc. have performed their duties responsibly. There is an atmosphere of peace and harmony in the entire district and Eid is being celebrated together with love and harmony.
