Muharram: Special control room in Kanpur from tomorrow
Kanpur, Oct 14: The district administration has set up a special control room to keep a vigil and handle any law and order situation during Muharram processions in the city.
District Magistrate Kaushal Ram Sharma said the control room will be operational from tomorrow for ten days.
The biggest concern for the police is managing about 2 lakh devotees, who will hit the road bare footed during the muharram procession, Sharma added.
To ensure that the procession is taken out smoothly, we have requested their head Khalifa to give identity cards to the devotees and submit a list of their names to the district administration, he added.
