Section 144 imposed in South Waziristan

Section 144 was imposed in South Waziristan to maintain law and order.

According to the district administration, every kind of display of weapons, aerial firing and carrying guns will be banned.

Under the Section 144, a gathering of more than five people will be banned too and vehicles are not to have tinted windows.

Any violation of rule can lead to action under the imposed section, stated the notification of the district administration.

It is pertinent to mention that polls for 16 seats will be held on July 2 in the tribal districts. Disgruntled candidates have said that weeks before polls, imposition of Section 144 is not a democratic move.
