A total of 145 processions and 754 majalis will be held in Attock District, said DCO Chaudhry Habibullah on Tuesday. Foolproof security measures have been finalised in this regard, he said, adding that two companies of Army troops and Rangers will be deployed for security along with police officials. He also directed assistant commissioners and TMOs to insure all necessary arrangements regarding Muharram processions and majalis at imambargahas. He, however, said no procession and majalis other than the scheduled ones would be allowed. Meanwhile, in AJK, strict security measures have been adopted to avoid any untoward incident during Muharram. In a meeting on Tuesday, it was revealed that CCTV cameras have been installed at 12 entry points to AJK.
