Authorities have prioritized the safety of congregations and processions in major cities including Dhaka, Chattogram, Sylhet, Khulna, and Rajshahi. Law enforcement agencies have been instructed to maintain heightened vigilance, particularly around mosques and religious sites expected to draw large crowds.

Home Affairs Adviser Lieutenant General (Retd) Md Jahangir Alam Chowdhury directed law enforcement to ensure foolproof security and prevent any untoward incidents. Enhanced surveillance and patrolling have already been deployed at sensitive locations.

In addition to security, crowd management and traffic regulation have been planned to facilitate the smooth movement of devotees throughout the day.
