Karachi commissioner has imposed a complete ban on pillion riding and all genres of public gatherings, including protests, demonstrations and rallies in District Central under Section 144 from December 9 to 10 with immediate effect.
The decision was taken at the request of the metropolis’ additional inspector general (AIG) on Monday.
A notification read that the AIG of Karachi Police, via a letter yesterday, informed that “miscreant and disgruntled elements may disturb the peace and tranquillity and can create law and order situation in District Central”.
Therefore, the Karachi administration imposed restrictions on the assembly of more than four persons and pillion riding for two days to prevent any untoward situation.
Following the order, the Station House Officers (SHOs) of police stations concerned have been authorised to take action against violators of Section 144 restrictions.
