KARACHI: The Sindh government has banned protests, rallies, sit-ins, and other public gatherings across the province for one month. Section 144 has been imposed, stopping groups of more than five people from gathering.
The decision came on the advice of Sindh Inspector General of Police Ghulam Nabi Memon, who said the action is needed to keep public order.
The official notification says the ban starts immediately. Anyone breaking the rule can be booked under Section 188 of the Pakistan Penal Code by the local police.
The government said the move is to keep people safe and prevent problems.
