The donation box of Hazrat Shahjalal (R.) shrine in Sylhet has been opened publicly for the second time. To ensure transparency, deviating from the traditional practice, the counting of money from the shrine's donation box began in public around 11:15 am on Saturday (July 11).

This event, organized on the veranda of the shrine's Dargah Mosque, is being conducted by the management committee formed to determine the shrine's income and expenditure management. Those concerned said that the total amount of money found in the donation box will be officially announced after the counting is completed. Later, as before, the entire amount will be deposited in the bank.
