Pakistan observes the solemn occasion of Chehlum, with processions taking place across the country to pay tribute to Imam Hussain (RA) and his companions for their sacrifices. The day is marked by deep religious reverence, as people gather to remember the martyrs of Karbala.
In cities like Karachi, Lahore, Peshawar, and Rawalpindi, large gatherings are taking place, with participants coming together to honor the memory of Imam Hussain (RA). To ensure the safety of those taking part in these processions, the authorities have implemented strict security measures.
Mobile phone signals have been temporarily suspended in certain areas to prevent any untoward incidents, and traffic has been diverted along the routes of the processions. In Karachi, for example, key roads have been closed, and additional police and Rangers personnel have been deployed to maintain order and security.
The Chehlum processions in Lahore and other major cities are also being closely monitored, with similar security arrangements in place. These measures reflect the importance of the day and the need to protect those who gather to remember the sacrifices made during the tragic events of Karbala.
