In many cities and towns across the country, such as Karachi, Islamabad, Lahore, Rawalpindi, Quetta, etc., the processions are traveling along their customary, predetermined itineraries.
The administrations in these cities and towns have implemented stringent security measures to prevent any untoward incidents.
In several places, shipping containers and barbed wire have been used to block off all roads leading to the procession routes and locations.
Additionally, cellular phone service has been cut off along the procession route.
Additionally, as a precaution, pillion riding has been outlawed in the majority of big cities and towns.
In order to guarantee that processions take place peacefully, hundreds of security officers have been stationed in several places. Numerous closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras have been installed along the roads specifically for this reason.
As the country comes together to pay tribute to the revered Hazrat Imam Hussain (RA) and his followers, authorities are striving to ensure that the day remains peaceful and that the mourners can express their grief and devotion without any disturbances.
