The Sindh government has imposed Section 144 across the province for one month.
All public gatherings, rallies, and sit-ins have been banned for the next 30 days.
Moreover, the gatherings of more than five people will not be allowed under this order.
The section was imposed on the request of the Sindh Inspector General of Police and is aimed at maintaining law and order.
Under the order, Station House Officers (SHOs) of the concerned police stations have been authorised to register cases against violators under Section 188 of the Pakistan Penal Code (PPC).
The police department has been directed that in case of violation action should be taken under section 188 of the Pakistan Penal Code.
The order will come into effect from October 12 (today).
Section 144 imposed in Pindi
Earlier, Section 144 was also imposed in Rawalpindi due to a protest.
The protest in Rawalpindi brought major arteries to a standstill, including Murree Road from Faizabad to Murree Chowk, and link roads such as Sir Syed Road, Moti Mahal, Liaqat Road, Committee Chowk, Waris Khan, Rehmanabad and Shamsabad.
Trucks and barriers blocked both main and minor streets. Schools, colleges, universities, wholesale markets, transport hubs and goods transport services were shut, leaving the city’s commercial and social life at a halt.
On Sunday, the authorities said that the citizens can travel on the Swat Expressway, Hazara Motorway and Hakla DI Khan Motorway. Containers have been removed from all internal and external routes.
