Google, world’s most popular search engine, is celebrating Bangla New Year Pahela Baishakh.

Tightened security measures have been taken to ensure smooth celebration of Pahela Baishakh, the first day of Bangla New Year, in the capital, Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) Commissioner Md Asaduzzaman Mia says.

Online shops are now even selling hilsa fish ahead of the Pahela Baishakh, an annual festival that is typically celebrated with a meal centred on the delicacy.

Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan urges all concerned to refrain from arranging any cultural programme after 6:00pm on the day of Pahela Baishakh celebration on April 14 for security reasons.
