Punjab Government Imposes 3-Day Ban on Public Gatherings Amid Security Concerns

The Punjab government has issued a notification imposing a three-day ban on all public gatherings, rallies, sit-ins, and protests across the province. The ban, enforced under Section 144 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, will be in effect from Thursday, August 22, to Saturday, August 24.

 

The Punjab Home Department's notification highlights that the decision was made in response to potential threats to law and order, with a particular focus on preventing terrorism. The government has cited the need to protect human lives and property as the primary reason for the temporary restrictions.

 

Authorities have urged citizens to comply with the ban and avoid participating in any public gatherings during this period. Law enforcement agencies have been directed to ensure strict implementation of Section 144 to prevent any untoward incidents.

 

This decision comes amidst growing security concerns in the region, and the government is taking preemptive measures to prevent any disruptions. Citizens are advised to stay informed and adhere to the guidelines to ensure their safety.

 

As the ban takes effect, the situation will be closely monitored, and any violations may result in legal action. The government has reassured the public that these measures are temporary and necessary to maintain peace and stability across Punjab.
