The Eid ul Fitr festival was celebrated in Port town on Tuesday amidst heavy police presence near masjids and other locations.
While the police force was present to avoid any law and order situation as Hindu Festival of Akshay Tritiya coincided with Eid , the Muslim community members were seen offering Namaz rituals and greeting each other during the festival.
Congress Minority Chairman Nazir Khan has appealed to all the people to maintain peace and harmony during festival. ” We have offered prayers Allah the almighty to spread the peace across the world and we also appeal all our Hindu , Christian and members of other religions to unite to celebrate festivals together so as to spread peace and maintain the communal harmony in Goa” said Khan.
