Section 144 imposed across Punjab ahead of PTI protest

The Punjab government has imposed Section 144 across the province for three days ahead of PTI's planned protest.

A notification issued by the Punjab Home Department outlines the prohibition of all forms of protests, rallies, processions, sit-ins, and similar activities during this period

The decision has been taken to maintain law and order, safeguard human lives, and protect property amid potential threats of unrest.

Authorities have emphasized that strict action will be taken against violators of the imposed restrictions. Citizens are urged to cooperate with the administration to prevent disruptions and ensure peace across the province.

It is to be noted that incarcerated PTI founder Imran Khan has given a call for countrywide protests on November 24.

In a separate development, the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) presented ‘conditions’ to hold negotiations to withdraw its November 24 protest call.

The PTI demanded immediate relief for party founder Imran Khan, the sources said. “In exchange for relief to its founder, the PTI is ready to call off the protest,” they added.
