Imposition of section 144 in Rawalpindi extended

In order to prevent the assemblage of more than four people, the imposition of section 144 in Rawalpindi has been extended until December 10.

The deputy commissioner issued the notification on Monday.

Police have been ordered to take action against the people violating the ban.

A week ago, a notification from the Islamabad district magistrate ordered that Section 144 be imposed in the Islamabad Capital Territory for two months, while another notification from the Rawalpindi deputy commissioner ordered that the ban be imposed until December 3.

Section 144 of the Criminal Procedure Code is a legal provision that empowers district administrations to prohibit an assembly of four or more people in an area for a limited period.
