In Karachi, authorities are preparing to suspend cellular phone services and possibly internet access during Muharram processions. This measure is aimed at enhancing security and maintaining peace during Youm-e-Ashura.
Similar precautions are being taken in other parts of Pakistan where processions are scheduled, aligning with the annual observances that commenced on July 8 with the sighting of the new moon. The suspension of these services is part of broader security plans to ensure safety during religious gatherings and processions, which attract large crowds and involve significant law enforcement presence.
