SIVASAGAR: A day-long government-sponsored Haj training camp was conducted today at the Hazarat Khandakar Peer Darul Madrasa near Sivasagar town. The event was organized by the Sivasagar District Haj Committee.

The training camp was formally inaugurated by Ganesh Chandra Baro, Assistant Commissioner of Sivasagar. In his speech, Baro remarked that followers of Islam cherish the dream of performing Haj at least once in their lifetime. “With the grace of the Almighty Allah, every pilgrim can complete their Haj. The pilgrimage is generally undertaken by those who are financially capable, and Muslims believe that performing Haj brings great spiritual reward,” he said.

For the 2025 Haj pilgrimage, a total of 65 male and female pilgrims from Sivasagar district are scheduled to travel to the holy cities of Mecca and Medina. The training was imparted by government-appointed trainers Alhaj Maulana Moinul Haque, Alhaj Sheikh Mohammad Shamirul Haque, and Mohammad Siddiqur Rahman. The trainers provided comprehensive guidance on the rituals, protocols and procedures to be followed from departure in Sivasagar to completion of the Haj in Mecca and Medina.

At the beginning of the programme, a video message of instructions and greetings from Nekibur Zaman, President of the North-East Joint Haj Committee, was screened for the attendees.

The training session was anchored by Anowar Hussain, General Secretary of the Jengonikotia Jumma Masjid Management Committee. Alhaj Royal Ali, President of the Hazarat Khandakar Peer Darul Madrasa, also addressed the gathering and highlighted the significance of the Haj training programme.
