“Magistrates and police personnel have been assigned to sectors. A Central Peace Committee has been briefed. Officials will remain on patrol throughout the day to ensure peace.”

Significance of Bakra Eid (Eid al-Adha)

Observed in the month of Zul Hijjah, Eid al-Adha commemorates Prophet Ibrahim’s devotion to God, marking it as one of Islam’s holiest festivals. The occasion includes prayers, sacrifice, and charity, but must be observed within the boundaries of law and public order.

Final Appeal for Peace and Compliance

UP Police urge citizens to celebrate Bakrid respectfully, follow all state guidelines, and report suspicious activities. With joint efforts from law enforcement and the public, authorities hope for a peaceful and joyous Bakrid 2025 across the state.
