The Sindh government has introduced a new restriction prohibiting the entry of mango crates and boxes into the provincial secretariat as part of strengthened security arrangements within government offices.
According to an official notification issued by the relevant authorities, security personnel stationed at the secretariat have been instructed to stop anyone attempting to bring mango crates or similar containers into the premises. The directive applies to all secretariat buildings and is intended to ensure tighter control over items entering government facilities.
Officials stated that no person, regardless of designation or purpose of visit, will be permitted to carry mango boxes, crates, or comparable containers inside the secretariat. The order has been communicated to security staff with instructions for strict implementation.
The notification further directs security personnel to maintain vigilant monitoring and ensure that all types of boxes and crates are restricted from entering the secretariat compound. Authorities emphasized that the measure is part of broader efforts to improve security protocols and regulate access to sensitive government buildings.
The decision comes during Pakistan’s annual mango season, which is one of the most anticipated fruit harvest periods in the country. Traditionally, the mango season extends from June to September, with the largest supply usually available between late June and the middle of August.
The season typically begins with the arrival of the popular Sindhri variety, which is widely regarded as one of Pakistan’s most famous mangoes. Sindhri mangoes generally reach markets in mid to late June and mark the start of the summer harvest.
Following the early-season varieties, mangoes such as Langra and Anwar Ratol become available in different parts of the country. These varieties contribute significantly to the fruit supply during the early summer months.
Later in the season, Chaunsa mangoes, including White Chaunsa, Black Chaunsa, and Nawab Puri Chaunsa, dominate the market. These varieties are especially popular among consumers and remain available throughout July and into September.
While the restriction does not affect mango sales or distribution elsewhere, it reflects the Sindh government’s focus on maintaining security and controlled access within official premises.
