PESHAWAR: With the arrival of Muharram, strict security arrangements have been implemented in various areas of Peshawar due to security concerns.

Inner-city localities including Kohati Bazaar, Qissa Khwani, Kocha Risaldar, and other sensitive spots have been completely sealed.

According to the administration, additional police forces have been deployed to ensure peace during Muharram processions and majalis. Surveillance is being conducted through CCTV cameras, and entry and exit points at various locations have been closed.

While partial road closures are causing inconvenience to the public, the district administration has advised citizens to use alternate routes and cooperate to help ensure a peaceful observance of the holy month.
