Indian Railways introduces festival special trains from time to time to deal with the rush during the festive seasons. The North Eastern Railway has decided to operate festival special trains for the convenience of the passengers ahead of Eid al-Adha, which will be celebrated across the country on July 10. Eid-ul-Adha, which is also known as Eid-ul-Zuha, Bakra-Eid, or Bakrid, commemorates the sacrifice of Prophet Ibrahim.
On the day of Bakrid, Muslims across the globe offer special namaz at mosques after the sun has completely risen. The Eid-ul-Adha namaz should be attended just before the sun enters the Zuhr time i.e. the midday prayer time. After the prayer, the Muslims attend the Khutbah or sermon by the Imam.
