Eid Milad-un-Nabi , the birth anniversary of Prophet Muhammad , is one of the most significant religious occasions in Pakistan. In Karachi, the day is marked with large processions, decorated streets, religious gatherings, and community prayers. To ensure that the celebrations remain peaceful and well-organized, Karachi Administrator Murtaza Wahab has begun consulting religious scholars and community leaders.
Religious scholars guide Karachi administration on Eid Milad-un-Nabi PBUH processions
Murtaza Wahab invited senior religious scholars from different schools of thought to provide guidance on the arrangements. Scholars emphasized that processions and gatherings must be conducted in a disciplined manner, reflecting the respect and reverence due to the Prophet.
They advised on route planning, timings of gatherings, and methods to avoid overcrowding. By listening to these voices, the administration is taking an inclusive approach to ensure that citizens feel their traditions and concerns are respected.
Security plan for Karachi during Eid Milad-un-Nabi
Security remains the top priority for the Sindh government and city administration. Wahab confirmed that police, Rangers, and law enforcement officials will be deployed in sensitive areas to protect participants in processions.
The administration is also installing surveillance cameras along major routes, while control rooms will monitor activities in real time. Special attention is being given to areas where multiple processions converge, ensuring smooth coordination and avoiding any disturbances.
Traffic congestion is a recurring issue in Karachi during large-scale religious events. This year, Wahab directed traffic police to design alternative routes for vehicles and ensure clear passage for ambulances and emergency services. Public transport operators are also being instructed to cooperate with city officials.
Enhancing public services and city beautification for Eid Milad-un-Nabi
The Karachi Metropolitan Corporation has been tasked with cleaning streets, repairing broken roads, and installing streetlights along procession routes. Decorative lights, green flags, and banners are being placed across the city to highlight the festive spirit of Eid Milad-un-Nabi.
Municipal teams are also working to ensure a steady water supply, removal of garbage, and improved sanitation in neighborhoods where religious gatherings are expected. Wahab emphasized that a clean and well-lit environment is essential to reflect the sacredness of the occasion.
Another key aspect of the consultations was promoting harmony among different sects and communities. Scholars encouraged citizens to celebrate peacefully and respect the diversity of traditions within Islam. Wahab reassured them that the government stands firmly committed to creating an environment of tolerance and inclusiveness.
Government-scholar collaboration sets new precedent for future religious events
By engaging directly with scholars, Murtaza Wahab has set an example for collaborative governance. Instead of top-down decisions, the administration is building consensus with those who have moral and spiritual influence within the community. This approach not only makes the arrangements more effective but also builds trust between citizens and government institutions.
As preparations continue, Karachi is gearing up for one of the most important events in the Islamic calendar. The administration’s multi-pronged approach combining security, public facilities, religious consultation, and beautification reflects its determination to make the celebrations smooth and meaningful.
