Section 144 Imposed in Karachi for New Year Celebration

To ensure public safety and maintain law and order during the New Year celebrations, the Sindh Home Ministry has imposed Section 144 in Karachi from December 31 to January 1. The order, announced via an official notification, bans aerial firing and the use of fireworks during the holiday period.

 

Section 144 is a preventive measure typically used to address situations where public safety and security could be compromised. The decision comes as a response to the ongoing concerns about the risks associated with aerial firing and fireworks, which have led to numerous injuries and even fatalities in previous years.

 

The authorities have warned that strict action will be taken against anyone found violating the ban. Last year, many people were injured and several lives were lost due to accidents linked to aerial firing and the improper handling of fireworks. The decision to impose the ban is part of efforts to avoid such incidents and to ensure a safer environment for all citizens as they ring in the new year.

 

The Sindh government is urging the public to celebrate responsibly, keeping in mind the safety of themselves and others. Citizens are advised to follow the law and refrain from engaging in dangerous practices that could harm others during the festivities.

 

As Karachi gears up for the New Year, the authorities’ focus remains on protecting public safety while allowing for celebratory activities to be carried out responsibly.
