Hyderabad Shia Muslim leaders still wait for police bandobust

Leaders from the Shia community are worried as the city police has reportedly not yet made bandobust arrangements for Muharram (the first month of the Islamic calendar) which starts from July 7.

Members of the community, including caretakers of



Ashurkhanas in the city have reportedly approached the authorities over the issue. During the month of Muharram, huge processions are held on the tenth day to mark the death of Imam Hussain, the grandson of the Prophet Muhammad, who was killed on that date in the year 680 CE.
