The Peshawar district administration has imposed restrictions on the sale and purchase of Baajas ahead of Independence Day.
The ban covers the sale and purchase of toy horns, commonly known as Baajas. The restriction has been introduced ahead of August 14 celebrations.
The district administration has imposed the restrictions under Section 144. The measure aims to maintain law and order across the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa capital.
According to the official notification, the restrictions will remain effective until August 15. Authorities have warned citizens against violating the orders during the restriction period.
The administration has also prohibited the sale and purchase of toy pistols. Firecrackers have been included among the banned items as well.
Other activities have also been restricted under the order. These include aerial firing, fireworks, and one-wheeling.
Authorities said strict legal action would be taken against people who violate the restrictions. The warning particularly applies to activities carried out on August 14.
The restrictions have been introduced as Pakistan prepares to celebrate its Independence Day. Large numbers of people typically participate in celebrations across cities.
The administration said maintaining public safety remains a key reason behind the measures. Officials want to prevent activities that could put lives and property at risk.
