The order of the Prime Minister of Iraq to prepare for the grandest Arbaeen procession

According to the official Iraqi news agency, al-Sudani on Monday ordered the local governments to prepare for the Arbaeen pilgrimage and the provinces with border crossings to perform their duties as best as possible.

He emphasized that the permanent committee of million pilgrimages has continued to hold its meetings since the end of the pilgrimage last year and determined the priorities and will hold a conference in this regard next week.

Al-Sudani appreciated the efforts of Karbala Province and other supporting departments in organizing the mourning of the holy month of Muharram.

In the meeting of the government board last week, on the occasion of the approaching date of the Arbaeen pilgrimage, the Iraqi Prime Minister had ordered to intensify the efforts to hold this pilgrimage successfully and to send pilgrims.

Earlier, Iraqi Interior Minister Abdul Amir Al-Shammari emphasized the importance of joint coordination between all security departments and service providers in order to provide the best services to Arbaeen pilgrims inside and outside the country.

It should be said; Arbaeen walk or Arbaeen march is one of the Shia rituals that is held on the days leading to 20 Safar (Arbaeen Hosseini). This walk is carried out from different parts of Iraq towards Karbala with the aim of the Arbaeen pilgrimage, and most of the pilgrims walk from Najaf to Karbala to visit the Holy Shrine of Seyyed al-Shuhada (AS) and perform the mourning ceremony along the way.

Iraqi authorities have predicted that the number of Arbaeen pilgrims this year will reach 23 million pilgrims; Therefore, many measures will be taken for the huge Arbaeen procession to coordinate and meet the needs of Hosseini pilgrims.
