Lodhran tightens security for Muharram
Multan Division Commissioner Aamir Khareem Khan and Regional Police Officer (RPO) Muhammad Sohail Chaudhry visited Lodhran on Thursday to review security and administrative arrangements for Muharram.
The visit was part of a broader directive issued by Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif, requiring divisional officials to oversee preparations across all districts in the region.
The senior officials conducted a comprehensive inspection of key Muharram procession routes, including a visit to the shrine of Baba Rafiq Shah Bukhari located in the city's central bazaar - an important endpoint for one of the main Ashura processions. Deputy Commissioner Dr Lubna Nazeer briefed the commissioner and RPO on the measures being undertaken to ensure safety, security, and administrative efficiency during the holy month.
Commissioner Aamir Khareem Khan stressed the importance of coordinated efforts by all departments to maintain peace and order during the sensitive days of Muharram.
While interacting with organisers of processions, majlis representatives, and caretakers of Imambargahs, he urged the community to uphold religious tolerance, unity, and harmony.
"Islam teaches us peace, forgiveness, and mutual respect. These principles must guide our conduct throughout Ashura," he stated.
