Crime propencity during Eid

During Eid-ul-Fitr, people from various walks of life have different long-term plans associated with the event. To implement these plans, there is a year-round effort among the general public. If we focus on businessmen, we can see that Eid is utilized as an opportunity for livelihood not only by foopath traders but also by all other classes and professions. Businesspeople, including footpath traders and others from various professions, actively engage in planning and implementing business strategies to capitalize on Eid. No one refrains from striving to give their business establishment a new look. Businesspeople, along with people from all other walks of life, target Eid to infuse vibrancy into their businesses. There is an inclination to cultivate a commercial mindset (focused solely on profit, product marketing) among a particular class targeting the simple and honest general public in Bangladesh. Criminals also target Eid with the intention of committing crimes, as the economic wheel expands during the season, and the active nature of the economy increases the temptation among them to engage in criminal activities.

Among the two major religious festivals of Muslims worldwide, Eid-ul-Fitr holds a special place by any measure. This religious festival comes after a month of strict fasting. Many fasting Muslims feel the urge to give of themselves as they celebrate this eid and give as much charity as they can. Eid brings a message of joy to everyone, rich and poor. The message of joy and happiness comes out as more practical for the poor when the rich extend their hands in support.

People of my age notice a stark contrast between the Eid in the present days and in our childhood. Back then, sighting the Eid moon was the main aspect of Eid joy. Nowadays, that excitement has faded away. We'd eagerly gather on rooftops to spot the moon, sparking arguments among siblings about who saw it first.

May the Eid celebration be joyful

From the middle of March, there were occasional showers, but intense heat has started since the first week of April. The Meteorological Department has informed that the temperature will rise further in the second week of April. With the decrease in humidity in the air, the intensity of the dry wind will increase. In the midst of this, Eid is approaching. From a week ago, many people in Dhaka have begun to return home. People are returning home from other cities as well. During this time, countless people have to spend the whole day on the road. Besides Eid shopping, there are other reasons too for leaving home. The intense heat during this time is not only causing discomfort but may also contribute to illness.

No more Eid for the people of Gaza

The completion of six months since the conflict between Israel and Gaza was marked on last April 7. However, referring to it solely as an Israel-Hamas war would be inaccurate. In addition to Hamas, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) also played a significant role in the conflict. Furthermore, it's essential to recognise that the casualties were not limited to Hamas alone; tragically, 33,000 Palestinians lost their lives. Thus, it's more accurate to describe the conflict as the Israel-Gaza war. The West Bank, another part of the Palestinian territory, is under heavy Israeli monitoring and is governed by Mahmoud Abbas, a relatively moderate and well-connected leader. Abbas, supported by the international community, particularly the West, primarily through the Palestinian Authority, advocates for a peaceful resolution.
