THIS time Dhaka will wear a different look during the Eid holidays which will be a long nine-day affair. Thanks to the initiative of the Honourable Prime Minster, the long holiday will be good for the people who celebrate Eid in their village home and also for the people who celebrate Eid at Dhaka. Dhaka is usually very quiet and calm during Eid holidays. There is no traffic jam or rush of people everywhere. It is the best time for the city dwellers as they get to see a rush free and noise free city. There are people who prefer to go out of the country during Eid holidays. But I am sure, those who will be leaving Dhaka this time shall miss a different Dhaka. The only concern of the city dwellers during the Eid holidays is law and order. I hope the concerned authorities will take all possible steps to ensure peace and order and enable people to have a peaceful Eid.
