The troops will be spread out across the country during the Muharram, the Interior Division declared on Thursday.
Regarding this choice, the ministry wrote to the governments of Gilgit-Baltistan, Azad Kashmir, and the four provinces.
Following a request from the provinces, Article 245 has permitted the deployment.
The security of all processions and gatherings during Muharram would be up to the Pakistan Army, the police, and other law enforcement organisations.
