Capital Police Enhance Security Measures During Muharram in Islamabad
\n———————
\nThe capital police have intensified vigilance and intelligence-driven operations across Islamabad as part of a comprehensive Muharram security plan, Dawn E-Paper revealed. The directive focuses on closely monitoring militant sectarian organizations and individuals linked to banned groups or listed in the 4th Schedule.<\/p>\n
Police units have been ordered to take strict action against harborers of sectarian offenders and to ensure that no sectarian hate speech is permitted during Muharram events. All religious sermons are to be recorded verbatim for immediate review, with authorities empowered to register cases and make arrests under relevant laws.<\/p>\n
Security arrangements include video recording of major processions, isolating troublemakers, and ensuring rapid response by senior police officers to any disturbances. Additional personnel and equipment can be requested from the SDPO if needed, while the use of tear gas is restricted to extreme situations.<\/p>\n
Police officers are instructed to maintain discipline, avoid religious remarks, and carry identification at all times. Plainclothes officers will also be deployed to monitor the situation closely.<\/p>\n
Collaboration with the Capital Development Authority (CDA) and traffic police will ensure trimmed vegetation, removal of hazards, vehicle restrictions near processions, and alternate electric supply arrangements. Organizers are responsible for installing walkthrough gates, metal detectors, and CCTV systems under police supervision to bolster security during Muharram observances.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
