Overview

  • The Sindh order takes effect from October 12 to November 12 and bars assemblies of more than five people.
  • A notification from the Sindh interior ministry formalized the restrictions across the province.
  • The measure is framed as necessary to maintain law and order and to prevent assemblies deemed prejudicial to public safety.
  • Rawalpindi authorities implemented Section 144 three days earlier ahead of Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan’s planned Aqsa Million march, restricting gatherings for 14 days.
  • The Punjab Home Department said its decision to curb gatherings under Section 144 followed credible intelligence warning of coordinated attacks on public crowds, government sites, and law enforcement personnel.
