Two people have died and at least five others have been injured during the annual Eid-e-Miladunnabi procession in Chattogram.
The incident took place on Saturday at the Muradpur intersection, where thousands had gathered for the religious procession organised by the Anjuman-e-Rahmaniya Ahmadia Sunnia Trust.
Sub-Inspector Nure Alam Ashek of the Chattogram Medical College Hospital (CMCH) Police Outpost said one victim, 60-year-old Ayub Ali from Patiya’s Meher Ati village, collapsed after falling ill from the heat and was declared dead on arrival at the hospital.
A second victim, 13-year-old Saiful, died after being trampled by the crowd. He was brought to CMCH in critical condition around 1:15pm, and was later declared dead.
