Muslims change procession route for ‘remover of obstacles’

Surat | Thursday | 20th September, 2018

Summary:

But now, the procession will pass through Mumbai Vad to Bobby Juice, Fish Market, Vansfoda Bridge and Zampa Bazaar Pragati Mandal. “We proposed to change the route when it was brought to our notice that there are some big pandals on route of Tazia. Tazia committee members agreed to change the route near Mumbai Vad and together we found a peaceful solution to avoid any trouble to people from both communities,” said Satish Sharma, city police commissioner. The problem was more severe on roads around Mumbai Vad where around 10 pandals are set up on the traditional juloos routes.After discussing the issue among themselves, organizers of both events hammered out an amicable solution to change the juloos route. The changed route is likely to continue for next two consecutive years as the Muharram and Lord Ganesh festival are falling on same days..
