Shafaqna Pakistan: Federal Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi has directed authorities to implement stringent security measures at the entry and exit points of Muharram processions and religious gatherings as part of nationwide efforts to ensure peace and maintain law and order during the holy month.
The instructions were issued during a high-level meeting chaired by the interior minister to assess security and administrative preparations for Muharram.
Officials informed the meeting that a central control room has been established at the Safe City headquarters to oversee and coordinate security operations. In addition, a four-layer security arrangement will be put in place to safeguard processions and religious events across the country.
Authorities have also launched a dedicated “Safe Muharram” mobile application, allowing citizens to report suspicious individuals, activities and security-related concerns. The application will enable users to share live locations and images directly with law enforcement agencies to support timely action.
Naqvi directed authorities to ensure comprehensive implementation of traffic management plans and instructed senior officials to remain present in the field during Muharram activities.
He also ordered timely arrangements for the welfare of security personnel deployed on duty and stressed the need for close coordination with religious scholars to help maintain peace and harmony.
The interior minister emphasized strict adherence to the code of conduct for Muharram events and directed authorities to adopt a zero-tolerance policy against the dissemination of provocative or sectarian content.
