The Quiet Procession (Chup Tazia Juloos) reached its destination safely, without any toward incident being reported, to Hussainian Iranian Kharadar starting in the morning from Nishter Park. Stringent security measures were taken as an 8000 strong police and paramilitary forces managed the security of the procession in consultations with scout groups volunteers. A very high turn-out was witnessed in the procession, surprising many, as this procession is not the markazi procession of 8th Rabiul Awwal. This can only be ascribed to the brave Millat-e-Jaffaria's mood and nature who throng all local and markazi Azadari processions with even greater fervor whenever any real threats are looming -something which is very unique about tashayyu and Millat-e-Jaffaria Pakistan, critics opine.

The Markazi Juloos of 8th Rabiul Awwal reached Imambargah Shah-e-Najaf Martin Road as pre-schedule where Matamdari was held and Pursa was given by the mourners. The procession started from Qasr-e-Musayyab in Rizvia society well after Zohrain prayers as scores of thousands of momineen and mominaat participated in the procession with un-precedence fervor and zest to commemorate the martyrdom of Imam Hussain AS and His 72 Companions and the difficulties faced by Ehle-Bayt AS in the aftermath of the tragedy of the Karbala.
Strict security measures in the Markazi Juloos meant that many Ziaraat had to pass through intense checking procedures, some were forbidden entry into the procession for the want of entrance permit. Besides the facilitation camps and stalls of millat's organizations were also not allowed in the Markazi Procession.A local hospital was made the focal point for emergency treatments to cope-up with any possible un-toward incident while a number of other hospitals were put on high alert.
Alhamdulillah however the procession finished safely at Martin Road, where Matamdari was held till late night.
Besides the two processions, mourning gatherings and processions were also held in Jaffar-e-Tayyar Society, Malir and Federal B Area Ancholi Society and other Shia strongholds of the city.
Similarly 8th Rabiul Awwal procession were reported to have been carried out from many other parts of country.
