Qaseem Shah:

The provincial government has enforced Section 144 across Balochistan, imposing restrictions on public gatherings and demonstrations to maintain law and order. The decision aims to prevent any untoward incidents and ensure public safety.

According to an official notification, the ban will remain in effect for a specified period, during which public assemblies, protests, and rallies will be prohibited unless granted prior approval by the authorities. Law enforcement agencies have been directed to strictly implement the order and take action against violators.

The imposition of Section 144 comes amid concerns over the security situation in the province.

Officials have urged citizens to cooperate with authorities and avoid any activities that may lead to legal action. The government has assured that these measures are temporary and will be lifted once the situation stabilizes.
