The Ministry of Interior has approved the deployment of Pakistan Army, Rangers, and Frontier Corps (FC) personnel in Sindh during Muharram, responding to security concerns raised by the provincial government.

Request for additional forces

The Sindh Home Department submitted a request to the Ministry of Interior for additional security forces to ensure peace and safety during the month of Muharram. This deployment is sanctioned under Sections 4 and 5 of the Anti-Terrorism Act 1997, aimed at assisting civil administration across Sindh.

“The army is being deployed to assist civil administration,” stated an official order from the Ministry of Interior.

Coordination and deployment

The deployment will be based on ground conditions, with provincial authorities retaining the authority to manage the deployment. The Sindh Home Department has been working closely with military officials to draft a detailed roadmap for the deployment of troops. This plan will ensure that military units are stationed effectively as needed, following mutual consultations among all relevant parties.

Muharram observance and security concerns

The Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee announced the sighting of the Muharramul Haram crescent, with Youm-e-Ashur (10th of Muharram) set to be observed on Wednesday, July 17. Muharram marks the period of mourning for the seventh-century martyrdom of Hazrat Imam Hussain (RA), the grandson of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), and his family and companions during the battle of Karbala.

Given the historical significance and the large processions that take place, security is always a top priority. In the past, the country has witnessed attacks targeting imambargahs and Muharram processions, underscoring the need for heightened security.

Internet services and social media restrictions

Earlier, on July 5, the Punjab government requested the interior ministry to shut down internet services and social media apps from Muharram 6 to 11. This measure aimed to prevent the dissemination of hate material and misinformation to avoid sectarian violence. However, sources revealed that the government has declined this request, opting instead to focus on bolstering security measures during Muharram.
