LAHORE: The Punjab government has called in Army and Rangers to ensure strict security arrangements during Muharram, Provincial Information Minister Azma Bokhari said.

Speaking at a press conference, the minister said that Rangers and Army personnel will support the police in maintaining peace. “Several sleeper cells have already been arrested, and security agencies are continuing surveillance to deal with any threats,” she added.

Ms Bokhari announced a complete ban on the use of drones during Muharram processions or for any other purpose. “Decisions about suspending mobile phone services and banning pillion riding will be taken as per the situation,” she added.

She said that all arrangements to maintain law and order have been finalised across Punjab. “As in previous years, millions of people will join Majalis and processions to honour the sacrifices of Imam Hussain (R.A.). Sunni community events will also be held,” she said.

Referring to international tensions, she added: “Due to the Iran-Israel conflict, this year’s Muharram is even more sensitive. Religious scholars from all sects have been asked to spread messages of peace, unity, and tolerance.”

Over 38,000 Majalis and more than 9,000 processions are expected across Punjab. For their security, over 238,000 police officials and 35,000 volunteers will be deployed. Special forces such as the Dolphin Force and CTD (Counter Terrorism Department) will also remain on duty.

A strict code of conduct has been issued, and any hate content on social media will be dealt with by the cybercrime unit, she said.

The minister again warned that drones would not be allowed under any circumstances. “Anti-drone systems will be installed, and more will be hired from other departments. Control rooms are fully functional in all major cities. Wall chalking and hate banners are also banned.”

She added that Safe City cameras will monitor Muharram processions in 18 cities, and more cameras are being installed for extra coverage.

The minister said facilities for mourners are also being arranged. “Cold water and beverage stalls will be set up. All Sabeels will be registered and checked by the food department. WASA water tankers will sprinkle water on roads, and mobile clinics will accompany processions.”

A traffic management plan has been prepared. Traffic advisories will be issued 24 hours before each procession, and all field officers will be in position before June 29, she concluded.
