Buddhists across the country, including in Dhaka, Chittagong, the Chittagong Hill Tracts, Cox's Bazar, and Ramus, peacefully celebrated their second-largest religious festival, Prabarana Purnima, with the appropriate solemnity.
In honor of this occasion, a week-long series of programs has been organized in Buddhist villages and townships, as stated in a press release from ISPR on October 17.
During the festival, the Bangladesh Army is on duty in both the Chittagong Hill Tracts and the plains to ensure an atmosphere of peace, order, and harmony.
Earlier, on 10 October, a delegation from the Bangladesh Buddhist Federation held a courtesy meeting with Chief of Army Staff General Waker-Uz-Zaman at army headquarters.
During this meeting, the army chief pledged to provide financial and security assistance for the celebrations in the three hill districts for both Prabarana Purnima and the Kothin Chibor Dan events. He also assured that all necessary measures would be taken to ensure security during the festivities in the Chittagong Hill Tracts.
Subsequently, the Army Chief presented a cheque for Tk1 crore on behalf of the Bangladesh Army to the Bangladesh Buddhist Federation, according to the release.
Additionally, the army has coordinated with other forces to ensure the security of the upcoming month-long Kothin Chibor Dan event.
