The district administration today counselled residents to avoid all non-essential travel and remain indoors between 5 p.m. and 9 a.m., issuing a significant public advisory on Friday in response to pressing security concerns.
Deputy Commissioner Muhammad Hussain Hazara explicitly refuted reports of a curfew being imposed in the Noshki area of Balochistan. He stressed, however, that precautionary measures were essential given the prevailing security situation in the district.
The official explained that the directive was issued to safeguard the lives and property of inhabitants and to prevent any “unpleasant situations.”
Mr Hazara added that the situation was under continuous review and implored the public to cooperate fully with security agencies while disregarding unsubstantiated rumours.
