Srinagar, July 04, 2025 (ANI): Senior police officers, including IGP Kashmir zone VK Birdi, distributed water and drinks among Shia mourners during the Muharram procession in Srinagar on July 04. Muharram holds significant religious importance for Shia Muslims. In India, the 7-8 crore Shia Muslim community, along with people of different religions, participate in large processions and tazias. “For the 8th of Muharram, the Jammu and Kashmir police and civil authorities have made various security-related arrangements, ensuring that the Azadars visiting here do not face any problems. Apart from this, because a procession is taking place in the Main area, traffic advisories were also issued... Regarding the 10th of Muharram, in various locations, all the organisers, J&K Police, and the District Superintendent of Police are in contact to ensure the entire facility and all security and traffic arrangements are made for the Azadars and the public,” said VK Birdi.
