The Lalbazar police headquarters is all geared up for the Muharram tomorrow (Wednesday). According to police reports, 230 small processions and 12 big processions will be held in Kolkata.
There will be 200 police pickets along with the Deputy Commissioner of Police, Assistant Commissioner of Police, and other senior police officers on the streets.
There will be a police team accompanying every procession. There is a possibility of more processions in the Metiabruz Wardganj port area, so Kolkata Police is always ready to protect those areas.
Muharram is celebrated among the Muslim community across the globe. However, the Shias mourn on this day while Sunnis observe fasting for the entire day. The Shia Muslim community mourns the demise of Hussain Ibn Ali, the son of Ali and the grandson of Prophet Muhammad from the Karbala battle.
