Punjab Inspector General of Police Inam Ghani says action will be taken over any kind of violations. — DawnNewsTV/File LAHORE: Punjab Inspector General of Police Inam Ghani says Youm-i-Ali mourning processions are not allowed to save the lives of people due to the surge in the coronavirus cases and action will be taken over any kind of violations. He said the provincial government and the National Command and Operation Centre (NCOC) had banned Youm-i-Ali mourning processions across the province this year. “Only Majalis are allowed under strict implementation of coronavirus SOPs on Youm-i-Ali.” The IGP said the love for Ahl-e-Bayt (the family of the Prophet) was a part of their faith but the decision not to hold the processions was taken only to stop the spread of the pandemic. He said the processions were not allowed due to gravity of the situation; otherwise, the government did not want to stop the processions in memory of Ahl-e-Bayt.
