SRINAGAR: President of the Jammu and Kashmir People’s Democratic Front (PDF) and former Minister, Hakeem Mohammad Yaseen, has strongly urged the Jammu and Kashmir administration to immediately finalize all necessary arrangements for the upcoming holy month of Muharram, particularly in the Budgam district, to ensure smooth observance of religious events and processions.
In a statement issued on Monday, Hakeem Yaseen said Muharram holds immense religious and emotional significance for the Muslim community, especially for devotees who participate in mourning gatherings, processions and majlis across the Valley. He said the administration must ensure that all civic and essential services remain fully functional during the holy days.
He called upon the concerned departments, including the Power Development Department, Jal Shakti, Health, Municipal bodies and Traffic Police, to work in close coordination to provide uninterrupted services to the public. He stressed the need for adequate electricity and water supply, proper sanitation, street lighting, road repairs and medical facilities at all major congregation points.
Hakeem Yaseen also urged authorities to make comprehensive traffic and security arrangements to facilitate the movement of mourners and avoid inconvenience to the general public. He said designated routes for processions should be properly maintained and monitored to ensure safety and order.
The PDF president further appealed to the administration to pay special attention to sensitive areas where large gatherings are expected, ensuring the availability of ambulances, emergency response teams and healthcare staff. He said these measures are essential to prevent hardship for mourners, particularly the elderly, women and children.
Highlighting the spirit of communal harmony and mutual respect associated with Kashmir’s traditions, Hakeem Yaseen said Muharram has always been observed with deep reverence and discipline in the Valley. He expressed hope that authorities would uphold this legacy by making timely and effective arrangements.
Hakeem Yaseen also appealed to the people to observe Muharram with peace, patience and dignity, while extending cooperation to the administration for the smooth conduct of all religious activities. He expressed confidence that with proper planning and coordination, Muharram observances across Jammu and Kashmir would be conducted peacefully and respectfully.
