Asgar Ali, a Shia Muslim, speaking to ANI said: "This is the tenth day of Muharram. So we are commemorating the martyrdom of Imam Hussein and his seventy-two companions at Karbala. This entire procession is to mourn the death and we recite the Noha."
Syed Azam Ali Khan, who belongs to Hussaini Kothi, said: "Bibi Ka Alam procession starts from Bibi Bazar crossroad and ends at Chaderghat. The government is supportive and arrangements are good. The Police Department has made arrangement for the security."
