The Victory Fair has been cancelled here due to threats of Islamist militants across the country.

The decision was taken at a meeting held here on December 2 with Manikganj Deputy Comissioner in the chair.

Victory Fair Celebration Committee chairman Advocate Fazlul Haque and co-chairmen Advocate Abdul Majid Photo addressed the meeting.

The fair was held here regularly as part of a month long Victory Day programme every year.

When contacted, the DC said the programme was cancelled due to security reason.
