With Sunday marking the birth of Prophet Mohammad and being celebrated as Eid-E-Milad-Un-Nabi, there will be various processions carried out in the city by the Muslim community. With an eye on the festival, the preparations were going on in Sewri by the Raza Foundation but following the Ayodhya verdict, the foundation has decided to cancel the procession as they were not happy with the decision of the Supreme Court.

Maulana Aneeh Ashrafi of the Raza Foundation claimed that the decision has also been taken to maintain communal harmony as their procession witnesses a crowd of over 10,000. The festival spans 12 days, and sees various programmes in different areas.
