Before offering namaz, some unknown persons sat on the roadside to offer namaz, whom I did not know. It was removed peacefully by the SI, crime inspector, inspector in charge and higher officials, but as soon as the namaz started at around 07.45 in the morning, some unknown persons (namazis) in numbers of about 100-200 came out on the road side of the Eidgah when the Eidgah was full by worshipers and they sat on the roadside and offered Eid-ul-Fitr prayers on the road and the side of the road.
