The Punjab government has imposed Section 144 in the province for three days. This ban will apply from Saturday, November 23 to Monday, November 25, stated the spokesperson.

According to the notification, because of security threats, any public procession can be a soft target for terrorists, and miscreants can achieve their nefarious objectives through anti-state activities under the guise of a public gathering.
