He further directed the DMs and the commissioners/SSPs to implement strict measures stating that Muharram is an occasion of mourning, not of a display of strength. He directed to strictly see there is no kind of display of weapons, initiation of new traditions, or uncontrolled use of loud DJs, drums, or percussion instruments.

The Chief Minister said the officials in the districts should hold a dialogue in advance on Muharram arrangements and ensure that no incident affecting law and order occurs anywhere.

He directed that to prevent any kind of accident, the height of Tazias should remain in accordance with prescribed standards and Tazias taller than 10 to 12 feet should not be permitted.

The CM also said active participation of public representatives should be ensured in International Yoga Day programmes. He directed that yoga programmes be organised in all 58,000 gram panchayats and 762 urban local bodies of the state.
