FAISALABAD
Provincial Minister for Information & Culture Azma Bokhari said that a comprehensive strategy would be implemented to provide foolproof security on Eid-e-Milad-un-Nabi (Peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) across the province.
Briefing the media about Milad arrangements at Commissioner Officer here on Monday, she said that 2467 Milad processions would be taken out in addition to 1581 Mahafil across the province. More than 55,000 police officials were deputed for Milad security in addition to activating CTD Jawans for checking of processions participants, especially in sensitive areas, she added.
She said that CCTV cameras were also activated in Faisalabad and Milad processions would be monitored through control rooms which were established at divisional levels across the province. “Jashn-e-Milad is a prestigious event. Hence, the government, on special directions of Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz, will facilitate the faithful to maximum extent in addition to distributing sweets and Halwa among the participants of Milad processions,” she added.
She said that Milad processions and Mahafil were divided into different categories for their proper monitoring through the Safe City project. “Police and other law enforcement agencies will perform their duties in shifts and keep an eye on the movement of suspects so that their nefarious designs could be foiled. The local administration will act upon the suggestions and proposals of peace committees. However, citizens should also cooperate with security departments so that Milad events could be celebrated in a befitting manner,” she maintained.
She said that Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz would monitor Milad activities herself and Provincial Minister for Local Government and Community Development Zeeshan Rafique and she had been assigned Milad duties in Faisalabad.
