KARACHI: Amid stringent security, Muslims all over Pakistan commemorate Ashura, the 10th of Muharram, today to pay tributes to Hazrat Imam Hussain (RA) and his companions for their great sacrifice in Karbala.

Multilayered security has been deployed with mobile phone services suspended to provide foolproof security to mourners taking out processions with Alam (flags), and Tazia (replicas of the mausoleum of Hazrat Imam Hussain in Karbala) across the country.

Mourning events will be held throughout the day where Ulema and Zakireen will highlight the philosophy of Hazrat Imam Hussain (RA) and various aspects of the tragedy of Karbala.

In Karachi, small and big Alam, Zuljinah and Taazia processions will be taken out from different parts of city.
