…………………

Holy Karbala Governorate has launched an extensive emergency plan to prepare for the upcoming Arbaeen pilgrimage, expected to attract over 25 million visitors from Iraq and abroad. Key service sectors, including the electricity department, are fully mobilized to ensure a safe and comfortable environment.

Ahmed Mousa Al-Abadi, Ministry of Electricity spokesperson, confirmed efforts such as dividing power feeders, installing new transformers, and maintaining distribution networks—especially in accommodation and medical areas—to secure continuous electricity supply.

Local authorities, in coordination with security forces, ministries, and the holy shrines of Imam Hussein and Abbas, are implementing organizational and service plans. Provinces including Najaf, Wasit, Erbil, Kirkuk, and Muthanna have deployed staff and equipment to support Karbala’s preparations for the massive influx of pilgrims.
