Section 144 Imposed in Murree District Over Security Concerns

MURREE: The local administration has imposed Section 144 across the Murree district in Punjab following heightened security concerns and potential law-and-order threats, according to media reports.

Under the administrative mandate, which remains in effect through September 17, authorities have placed a complete ban on assemblies of more than five people, public rallies, processions, and unauthorized protests.

To maintain order and prevent overcrowding at key tourist locations, Deputy Commissioner Murree announced that access to the landmark Mall Road will be restricted exclusively to families.

Unaccompanied individuals and non-family groups will be restricted from entering the promenade during this enforcement period.

District authorities and law enforcement personnel have set up checkpoints and increased patrolling across major entry points to monitor compliance and ensure public safety.
