KARACHI: The Sindh government has decided to impose a ban on pillion riding in six cities of the province including Karachi on December 23 and 24, Express News reported on Thursday.

The ban will be imposed to ensure security during the chehlum of Hazrat Imam Hussain (RA).

Muharram this year saw strict security in the country with armed forces foiling many terror attacks.

The authorities have made similar safety plans for chehlum to make sure people observe the day without any terror threat.

@Dajjal: Whether someone like it or not the Chelum and the kinds are not Islamic things anyway. Neither Propher (PBUH) nor the pious Sahaba (RA) ever celebrated these rituals.
