The Chup Tazia mourning procession culminated in a peaceful manner under tight security of the police and Rangers on Friday.

Held every year on the 8th Rabiul Awwal to observe the death anniversary of Hazrat Imam Hasan al-Askari, Chup Tazia processions mark the end of the over-two-month mourning period.

Two large processions started from Nishtar Park and Rizvia Society. The Nishtar Park procession passed from MA Jinnah Road and culminated at the Hussainian Iranian Imambargah in Kharadar. The other procession started from Rizvia Society and concluded at the Shah Najaf Imambargah in Martin Quarters.

The procession at Nishtar Park began after Fajr prayers. It was led by the Buturab Scouts and passed through the reserved route to culminate at the Hussainian Iranian Imambargah in Kharadar by following the traditional routes.
