Musallies, who intended to perform the holy Hajj this year, but could not deposit the muallem fees (hajj money) in time, yesterday formed a human chain in the city demanding extension of the time to deposit the money.

The human chain was organised in front of North Gate of Baitul Mukarram National Mosque after juma prayers.

Abdul Quader and Lutfor Rahman, who led the programme, demanded the intervention of the Chief Adviser in this regard so that they could perform hajj this year.

According to them, about 1,000 musallies could not deposit hajj money in time, which expired on July 13.

Strong contingent of law-enforcers was deployed to maintain peace.
