Special arrangements for Milad-un-Nabi procession, security and traffic: On the auspicious occasion of Milad-un-Nabi, not only prayers are offered in mosques, but processions-e-Mohammadi are also taken out in a traditional and peaceful manner in many areas of Delhi. In these processions, people walk with full discipline carrying flags in their hands and reciting Darood Sharif. To avoid any kind of inconvenience, tight security arrangements have been made by Delhi Police and Traffic Department. On the routes through which the main processions are going to pass, the traffic can be diverted for some time so that the general public and the worshipers do not have to face any kind of difficulty. The local administration and committees have appealed to everyone to celebrate this holy festival with complete brotherhood, harmony and peace and hug each other and congratulate each other on this auspicious day.
