ISLAMABAD: In a revolutionary step taken by the federal capital, a new app called “Mehfooz Muharram” (Safe Muharram) has been introduced. It is an advanced app designed to usher in the future of security in terms of Muharram-ul-Haram. By combining geo-tagging technology with drone surveillance, the government aims to create a bulletproof framework for religious processions and Majalis throughout Islamabad.
High-Tech Safety for Religious Observance
Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi initiated a top-secret security exercise this week to ensure that all administrative arrangements were made. Intelligence and quick response are highly valued by the administration. With the latest mobile application, any individual is able to become a watchman for the safety of society. The citizens are now able to instantly inform the central command center about any suspicious person or activity in Safe City Islamabad.
Four-Tier Security and Field Presence
Although the new development is powered by technology, the government continues its iron-fist control of conventional security methods. The minister instructed the police to set up stringent four-layered security cordons around all places of worship and processions.

Stringent checks will be conducted at all entry and exit points for access to restricted zones. To guarantee total vigilance, the Minister ordered all senior officers to remain on the ground throughout the holy month. Such an initiative is helpful in ensuring that security personnel are taken care of with respect to their physical needs while performing their duties on-site.
Collaboration and Zero Tolerance
However, ultimately, the objective of all these administrative steps is to achieve peace. According to the Interior Minister, regular interaction with religious scholars and other influential community members is required to maintain order.
The authorities have employed Peace and Nigehban Committees that can help fill the void between the law enforcement agencies and the people. The Peace and Nigehban Committees have a crucial role in ensuring smooth interactions between Majalis and procession committees. In addition, it should be noted that there is a complete ban on any provocative behavior by anyone.
