Eid ul Adha 2024: Hyderabad Police Beef Up Security Ahead of Festival, Ask People To Follow Guidelines

Eid ul Adha 2024: The Hyderabad Police have tightened the security ahead of the Eid ul Adha 2024 celebrations. Eid ul-Adha is celebrated by Muslims all around the world on the tenth day of Dhu al-Hijjah (the twelfth month of the Islamic lunar calendar) and it is the second major Islamic festival celebrated by Muslims after Eid-ul-Fitr.

The authorities in Hyderabad have asked the people to follow the guidelines issued by the government. Talking to news agency ANI, South Zone DCP Sneha Mehra said, “It is a request that let us celebrate this festival of Eid together within the guidelines given by the department and by the government. We hope that once the sacrifices of the animals are completed, the waste material is properly disposed of in GHMC bins so that we maintain our city neat and clean. Once the animal carcass or any material is left outside this range, there is a high chance that diseases can spread.”

‘We have ensured that proper arrangements are placed in all the masjids so that the prayers are completed peacefully… We will leave no stone unturned in ensuring that the festival is celebrated peacefully,” she added.
