The provincial government enforced Section 144 across Punjab on Friday\u00a0for a week due to terrorism concerns.<\/p>\n

The home department, in a statement, said that the\u00a0ban had been imposed on public gatherings, rallies, sit-ins, and protests throughout the province until June 27.<\/p>\n

The decision aims to uphold law and order, safeguard lives, and protect property, citing potential risks of terrorism targeting large public gatherings.<\/p>\n

The statement said that authorities are committed to ensuring strict compliance with these regulations and have initiated efforts to inform the public accordingly.<\/p>\n

The province witnessed similar restrictions in January when in response to security threats and concerns regarding the law and order situation during February 8 election campaigns, the Punjab government imposed Section 144 across Punjab.<\/p>\n

The government’s directive included a ban on the display and carrying of illegal weapons, even those with licenses, with an exception for law enforcement agencies.<\/p>\n

Additionally, the practice of aerial firing had been strictly prohibited. A notification issued by the Punjab Home Secretary highlighted potential threats to law and order, public peace, and security during the election period.<\/p>\n

Given the extensive political gatherings, rallies, and meetings expected across the province, concerns were raised about these events becoming vulnerable targets for potential acts of terrorism and mischief by miscreants.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
