The religious affairs body is currently hosting its major stakeholders’ meeting, drawing national attention due to its focus on peace, unity, and credible elections.

Participants arriving at the conference venue are subjected to thorough screening procedures before being allowed into the main conference hall.

Police officers, in collaboration with other security personnel, have been stationed at all entry points to ensure maximum security.

Delegates are required to undergo security checks, including body scans and identity verification, before entering the meeting room.
