Deployment of Security Personnel
According to the plan, thousands of police and paramilitary personnel will be deployed at sensitive locations, including mosques, imambargahs, and cattle markets. The authorities have also decided to conduct intelligence-based operations and search operations in various districts.
Measures for Eid-ul-Azha
For Eid-ul-Azha, special arrangements have been made for the security of cattle markets and slaughterhouses. The government has also issued directives to monitor the movement of animals and ensure that no untoward incident occurs during the festivities.
