These restrictions were implemented on February 27 across Sindh due to heightened security concerns. Law enforcement and intelligence agencies are the only entities exempted from this ban.
Legal Action Police authorities emphasized that the operation was part of a crackdown to ensure the strict implementation of Section 144. All Station House Officers (SHOs) have been granted the authority to register cases against anyone found violating these security protocols.
