ISLAMABAD, Jul 04 (APP): Islamabad Capital Territory (ICT) Police on Friday held a flag march in collaboration with other law enforcement agencies to demonstrate their commitment to maintaining peace and promoting unity during the holy month of Muharram.
A police spokesperson told APP that the flag march was led by SSP Operations Muhammad Shoaib Khan, and covered various areas of the city.
SSP Shoaib said personnel from the ICT Police and other law enforcement agencies participated in the march, which started from the Pakistan Sports Complex and culminated at the same point after passing through different routes in the federal capital.
SSP said the purpose of the flag march was to reinforce the message of peace, religious harmony, and the resolve of the Islamabad Police to ensure foolproof security arrangements during Muharram.
He said all necessary measures were being taken for the security of Majalis and processions throughout the city.
