Punjab cops are gearing up for massive security during the holy month. Police chief Dr. Usman Anwar ordered more than 147,000 officers to hit the streets on the biggest religious days. Lahore will see over 10,000 police officers protecting people during prayers and marches. The province expects thousands of religious events across different cities. Community volunteers will help police keep everyone safe during the ceremonies.
Officers already worked hard on the eighth day of Muharram across Punjab. More than 58,000 police personnel stood guard during 1,365 processions and 3,940 gatherings. Lahore had 86 marches and 416 religious meetings with 3,600 officers watching over crowds. About 27,000 local volunteers joined police to maintain order during the events. The security team handled everything without major problems.
Police bosses banned weapons, hate speech, and troublemaking during the religious month. Officers will arrest anyone who fires guns in the air or spreads nasty messages online. All marches must stick to approved routes and cannot go anywhere else. Camera systems and district officials are watching every move through surveillance equipment. Special police teams are patrolling streets to catch troublemakers before they cause problems.
