Web Desk: The Kalat district administration has announced a night curfew across the district on selected dates in August to maintain law and order amid the prevailing security situation.
According to Deputy Commissioner Kalat Munir Ahmed Durrani, the curfew will remain in force from 10:00pm to 7:00am on August 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 20, 21, 25 and 26. Residents have been directed to avoid unnecessary movement during curfew hours and cooperate fully with law enforcement agencies.
The district administration warned that strict legal action will be taken against anyone violating the curfew. Officials also urged citizens to protect themselves and their families by complying with the restrictions.
Meanwhile, the administration categorically rejected social media rumors claiming that Kalat markets would be closed from 3:00pm, calling the reports false and misleading. Authorities clarified that no daytime market closure has been ordered, advising the public to rely only on official notifications issued by the district administration.
Officials further explained that a traffic police video message circulating on social media relates only to the night curfew timings of 10:00pm to 7:00am and should not be interpreted as an announcement of daytime market closures.
The Kalat district administration appealed to residents to remain vigilant, avoid spreading unverified information, and follow official instructions to help maintain peace and public safety across the district.
