Brahmanbaria district administration imposed Section 144 around Bashudeb Primary School playground yesterday as two Islamic groups called mehfil at the same venue. According to villagers and Deputy Commissioner's office sources, Ahle Sunnat Al Jamaat called an waas mehfil (Islamic gathering) marking Eid-e-Miladunnabi at Bashudeb Primary School playground under Sadar upazila. Another group belonging to Kawmi Madrasa called a counter programme at the same venue to stop Ahle Sunnat from holding waas.
