Punjab govt. enforces Section-144 for Muharram security

Spokesperson for the Punjab Interior Department on Saturday said that the Punjab government has enforced Section-144 across the province in view of security during Muharram.

A private news report indicated that the Punjab Home Department has issued comprehensive guidelines, including a ban on double riding of motorcycles from the 7th to the 10th of Muharram.

The Interior Secretary of Punjab has mandated the strict implementation of foolproof security measures and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) throughout the province.

The spokesperson said that there would be no new construction in Muharram processions and gatherings.

The display of all types of weapons and incendiary materials in public places will be prohibited without the appropriate authorization.

“Provocative slogans and gestures that incite public sentiments, beliefs, and sects are completely banned,” the spokesperson emphasized.

Section 144 also prohibits any remarks or actions inciting inter-religious, communal, or ethnic hatred through any medium.
