Noman's iftar party turns into chaos
Staff Correspondent, Chittagong
An iftar party hosted by Fisheries and Livestock Minister Abdullah Al Noman ended up in chaos as thousands of people scrambled for iftar items at Jamiatul Falah Mosque ground here yesterday. Over 10,000 invitation cards were distributed among people from all walks of life on behalf of the minister and the venue became overcrowded as the ifter time came closer. As soon as the iftar time started, people seemed to be in a rush to get the food and drinks as fast as they can, making a total mess of the party. The minister, at one stage, was found requesting the crowd to remain calm but his repeated appeals virtually went in vain and many invitees left the place without having their iftar. The situation also caused a brief gridlock on the roads around the venue.
