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.

Why dont goverment banned Cheleum or jaloos that is the big reason for sectrain violence..Government should do the voting if people against it then use the force to stop.
@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.

I thought his Chehlum took place around 1400 years ago... Are people really living that far in the past??? Sad.
