All BTC Minority Studentsโ€™ Union (ABMSU) president Ashraful Islam appealed the Muslim community to avoid Eid shopping and public gathering.

โ€œEvery Muslim should abide by the rules and regulations that the administration and the government have chalked out,โ€ Islam said in a statement.

He said that people should jointly fight against the threat of COVID-19 by maintaining social distancing.

Asking people to refrain themselves from Eid celebrations, Islam also urged the ABMSU members to generate awareness on COVID-19 in the Muslim dominated areas of BTAD.

โ€œCoronavirus can be defeated through awareness. I request our organisation members to visit the Muslim dominated areas of BTAD and urge the people to not venture out of their homes without reasons,โ€ Islam said.
