A festive atmosphere prevails among devotees in Lalmonirhat and surrounding districts around the mahfil. Devotees have been stationed in the field since night, and a large number of police, RAB and intelligence agency officials are patrolling for their security.
It is known that Azhari will deliver a statement after Zuhr prayers when he reaches Lalmonirhat. Member of the mahfil implementation committee Md. Renael Alam confirmed the introduction of new coaches by the Railway department. Besides, thousands of buses are coming to Lalmonirhat from eight districts of Rangpur division.
