The Punjab Government has extended the enforcement of Section 144 across the province for another 30 days. The decision aims to address ongoing security concerns and maintain public order in Punjab.
According to the Punjab Home Department, the extension includes restrictions on certain activities, particularly the use of drones in open areas. Officials said the measure is necessary to ensure safety and prevent any potential threats in Punjab.
Authorities confirmed that the ban on flying drones outdoors will remain in effect until April 25. District administrations and police have been directed to strictly enforce the restrictions. Officials emphasized that compliance is essential to maintain law and order across Punjab.
However, some relaxation has been provided for indoor events. Small drones will be allowed at private gatherings such as weddings and functions held in halls or marquees. Event organizers will be responsible for ensuring safe and controlled usage during these occasions.
Officials clarified that law enforcement and intelligence agencies are exempt from the restrictions. These agencies may continue to use drones for official purposes related to security and monitoring.
The government stated that the extension of Section 144 is a precautionary step. It is intended to reduce risks and maintain peace during a sensitive period. Authorities said that public safety remains the top priority in Punjab.
Residents have been advised to follow the rules and avoid restricted activities. Violations of Section 144 may lead to legal action. Officials urged citizens to cooperate with authorities to ensure a safe environment.
Experts say such measures are often taken to prevent disturbances and improve coordination among security agencies. The extension reflects the government’s focus on proactive safety planning in Punjab.
The situation will continue to be monitored closely. Authorities may review the restrictions based on evolving security conditions. Until then, the enforcement of Section 144 will remain in place across the province.
