Caution regarding the holding of Bisho Ijtema
Jan. 26, 2025, 2:36 p.m.
This gathering has been held annually since 1946. Every year, Muslims from all over the world gather, with the total number of participants expected to be several million.
The area is expected to be crowded from the evening (especially after the Maghrib prayer) on Thursday, January 30th and Thursday, February 6th, the day before "Bish Ijtema". During this period, the roads from Shahjalal Airport to the venue will be filled with pedestrians and will be very congested, making it almost impossible for vehicles to pass through the area. In light of this situation, police authorities have been mobilizing large numbers of police officers to the venue and its surrounding areas for security purposes every year, but we recommend that you refrain from going out near the venue as unforeseen incidents may occur. In particular, on the final days, Sunday, February 2nd and Sunday, February 9th, the airport roads will be almost completely closed, and only travelers with flight tickets will be allowed to pass through. If you need to use the airport during Bish Ijtema, we recommend that you leave with plenty of time to spare.
In addition, large crowds are expected to gather not only near the rally venue but also around mosques, causing traffic congestion. Therefore, please pay attention to various information such as the news, and when you go out, make sure you always have a means of communication such as a mobile phone. If you encounter an abnormal situation such as a demonstration or riot while out, please leave the area immediately and ensure your safety before contacting the Embassy.
