LAHORE, Feb 11: Muharram security situation in Punjab will be monitored from a control room to be established at the Muslim League House here.

PML secretary-general and provincial Communications and Works Minister Chaudhry Zaheeruddin Khan said this while addressing a meeting of the provincial Inter-Religious Peace Committee members at the Muslim League House here on Friday.

He said that comprehensive security plans had been formulated for every district. Police would be posted at imambargahs and majalis venues and stern action would be taken on unlawful use of loudspeakers and circulation of sectarian literature.

The minister called upon the ulema to spread the message of peace, love and tolerance in their speeches and keep an eye on the miscreants. He stressed the need for activating the inter-religious peace committees at district, tehsil and town level with the cooperation of religious leaders and taking steps for maintaining sectarian peace during Muharram in consultation with them.

The PML presidents in all the districts had also been directed to make efforts for maintaining peace with the cooperation of the people. The religious leaders assured the minister that they would make frantic efforts for maintaining peace during Muharram and would not allow the miscreants to disrupt it by driving a wedge between various sects of Muslims.
