Amid tight security arrangements, Eid Miladun Nabi (Peace Be Upon Him), the 12th Rabi-ul-Awwal was celebrated with religious zeal and fervour across Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

A central procession of Eid-Milandun Nabi was taken out from Milad Chowk Peshawar, which culminated peacefully after passing through designated routes. The participants raised slogan of Allah-o-Akbar, Ya Rasool Allah (SAWW), and recited Darood Sharif besides Naat-e-Rasool-e-Maqbool (SAWW).

The city was giving bridal look as the streets, roads, bazaars, shopping centres, and government buildings were beautifully decorated and illuminated with colourful lights on 12th Rabiul Awal.

Stringent security measures were taken place with additional deployment of police. Entry and exit routes of the processions were cordoned off by concrete blocks and tents. Special security arrangements were made by District Police and police personnel accompanied the procession throughout the route.

A number of events of Mehfil-i-Naat and Milad held while processions were taken out to express love, devotion and respect for the Holy Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him). A large number of people, including religious scholars were participated in the processions. Special conferences and events were arranged to pay respect to the last messenger whose life and teachings are beacon of light for the whole mankind.

People showered rose petals on the participants of the procession while special cleanliness arrangements were made on the routes.
