Members of the Shia community brought out Tajia processions in the capital Dhaka on Tuesday marking the holy Ashura, the martyr day of Hazrat Imam Hossain Ibn Ali (RA), a grandson of Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) with due religious solemnity.

Tuesday is the 10th day of the month of Muharram in the Hijri calendar and the day is a public holiday in Bangladesh.

The main procession was brought out at 10 am from Imambara Hussaini Dalan in Old Dhaka. Hundreds of people took part in the procession that marched through different streets, chanting the slogan hi Hossain, hi Hossain.

from the Hussaini Dalan, the procession will march different streets including Azimpur and New Market and it will end at the Roda No. 2 in Dhanmondi area. Thousands of people thronged besides both the roadsides to see the procession in the area.

A huge number of law enforcers were also seen in front and back of the procession to avoid any untoward incident ahead of the procession.

Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) has taken foolproof security measures and deployed a huge number of lawmen at all strategic points to make the effort successful.

years ago, a militant attack took place on the Tajia procession at Hussaini Dalan that left one dead and many others sustained injuries. Two people have been jailed in connection with the case and the other six people have been acquitted.

On this day in the Hijri year of 61, Hazrat Imam (RA), grandson of Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (SM), along with his family members and 72 followers embraced martyrdom in the hands of Yazid’s soldiers at the desert of Karbala to uphold the teachings of Prophet (SM).
