imageKARACHI: The Chehlum of Hazrat Imam Hussain (R.A.) and other Shuhada of Karbala would be observed on Monday.

The main congregation in the metropolis would be held at Nishter Park where Allama Talib Jauhri would address a Majlis.

Later, a mourning procession would be taken out which, after passing through its traditional route, would culminate at Husanian Iranian Imam Bargah, Kharadar.

The police have made foolproof security arrangements for the Chehlum.

A spokesman for the Sindh Police said that about 46,300 police personnel would perform security duty in the province on the occasion. Extraordinary security arrangements have been given final shape for the security of processions, Majalis and other gatherings.

In Karachi, some 17,950 police personnel would perform the security duty in the three zones of the metropolis. As many as 5,727 police officers and jawans would be deployed for the security of the main procession of Chehlum in Karachi.

Sharp-shooters would be deployed on top of the high-rise buildings. Strict surveillance would be maintained through watch towers around Nishter Park. In Karachi, some 100 big and small processions would be taken out while 460 Majalis would be held on the occasion of Chehlum.

Earlier, Commissioner Karachi Ejaz Ahmed Khan chaired a meeting on November 16 and reviewed arrangements for Chehlum's procession, Majalis and other gatherings.

The meeting was also attended by DIGs, deputy commissioners, officials of KMC, Water Board, K-Electric as well as Ulema.

The meeting decided that foolproof security arrangements would be made on the occasion.

The arrangements would also be made for the provision of civic facilities, including supply of water, cleanliness and lighting.

No power load-shedding would be carried out, the meeting decided.
