Bangladesh Sees Peaceful Durga Puja Amid Enhanced Security Measures in 2026

Community leaders and citizens praised the government's efforts, noting increased holidays, financial support, and high-profile visits. However, concerns remain about sustaining this security and inclusivity beyond the festival period.
