BENGALURU: The All Karnataka Meelad-O-Juloos-E-Rasool Alameen Committee (AKNMRC), which organises Bengaluru’s largest Eid Milad procession to mark the birth anniversary procession of Prophet Muhammed, is all set to hold a grand procession after two years of hiatus due to the pandemic.
AKNMRC said that all approvals have been granted. The procession will begin from Hegde Nagar and pass through Govindpura, Tannery Road and conclude at Kambalposh Dargah at Shivajinagar. Speaking to TNSE, Ismail Sharieff Nana, a member of the committee, said the police permission has been taken, and the community will also engage volunteers to monitor the procession. Police security has also been sought for the procession as it will pass through some sensitive areas.
“The rally will begin between 11.30 am and noon from Ramakrishna Hegde Nagar. There will be a programme at Bilal Masjid where the flag will be hoisted. An invitation has been extended to leaders of all the parties,” said a volunteer of the committee. “Suitable security arrangements have been made,” said Bheemashankar Guled, DCP, East Division.
