Section 144 Enforced in Islamabad, Strict Action Warned for Violations

ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad district administration has confirmed that Section 144 remains in force across the federal capital, prohibiting gatherings and assemblies of any kind.

The administration has directed citizens to refrain from violating the restrictions, warning that strict legal action will be taken against those found breaching the order.

According to the district administration, restrictions on public gatherings are also in place under the Peaceful Assembly and Public Order Act 2024.

Officials said violation of the relevant law could result in a prison sentence of up to three years.

The administration urged citizens to avoid becoming involved in any unlawful activity and called on the public to cooperate with security and law enforcement agencies.

The ban under Section 144 on the assembly of four or more people at a place has been imposed in Punjab as well ahead of the Sept 27th plan of the opposition PTI to March on the federal capital demanding the release of Imran Khan.
