In the aftermath of the tragic suicide attack at the JUI Workers’ Convention in Bajaur, the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government has taken a firm stance on public safety by imposing a ban on all public gatherings across the province.
The Department of Interior has issued a memorandum to Divisional Commissioners and Deputy Commissioners, instructing them to strictly enforce the ban on public gatherings without prior approval from the Deputy Commissioner. This decision comes as a response to the escalating security situation and increasing acts of terrorism in the region.
The authorities have been directed to take immediate and rigorous actions against any violations of the ban, ensuring the safety and security of the public. The move aims to prevent any potential threats to public safety and maintain peace in the province.
Amidst the prevailing climate of security concerns, the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government is making efforts to curtail risks and maintain a peaceful environment for its citizens. However, this decision may spark debates on civil liberties and the balance between public safety and freedom of assembly.
