On Tuesday, the main Chehlum procession concluded peacefully in Karachi, under tight security, according to police reports. Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah conveyed his satisfaction and gratitude to the Sindh Rangers, police, and law enforcement agencies for their commendable performance during the event. The chief minister also acknowledged the cooperation of procession organizers and religious scholars.
Home Minister Ziaul Hassan Lanjar similarly commended the Sindh police for the successful and peaceful conclusion of the Chehlum processions. Chehlum, or Arbaeen, commemorates the 40th day of mourning for Imam Husain (AS), grandson of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), with Shia Muslims across the country observing the day through processions.
Earlier, the police announced that the procession's front reached Eidgah Chowk, while the tail was at Britto Road, heading towards Hussainia Iranian Imambargah. Police also advised commuters to utilize alternate routes, such as using Lasbela Chowk, Nishtar Road, Kashmir Road, and Society Light Signal, to avoid MA Jinnah Road, which would be closed between Guru Mandir and Tower.
