At the Indira Gandhi Municipal Corporation Stadium, a large number of Muslims are expected to take part in the celebrations.
The Muslim Idgah Committee and the Muslim Development Society is making arrangements to organise Id-ul-Fitr namaz on June 26 or 27, depending on the first sighting of the crescent moon.
