Addressing the meeting, the Commissioner said, "The month of Muharram-ul- Haram teaches us a lesson to maintain an atmosphere of patience and brotherhood and for this purpose it is necessary that ulema of all religious sects should play their full-fledged role".

The Commissioner instructed Deputy Commissioners of Shaheed Benazirabad, Sanghar and Naushehro Feroze districts to hold meetings of Peace Committees to adopt all possible measures for ensuring peace and tranquility and other arrangements during this month.
