In this regard, Al-Asfoor, accompanied by Deputy Governor, Brigadier Khalid Rabia Sinan, Chairman of Ashura Committee at the Northern Governorate, Al-Sayed Shareef Abdulla, and other officials visited the North Sehla, Jannusan, Jid Al-Haj and the southern Karrana community centres.
The governor commended the efforts of community centres’ managements and sub-committees to ensure the distinguished organisation of Ashura rituals, praising their cooperation and coordination with security and service authorities to ensure the success of Ashura Commemoration.
