KARACHI:The Sindh government on Tuesday imposed section 144 across the province, banning meetings, processions, rallies and public gatherings across the Sindh province.

The Sindh Home Department issued a notification regarding the imposition of Section 144. The notification says violations will be prosecuted under section 144 while it will be enforced across the province for a month.

The imposition of the section 144 came after Chairman Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Imran Khan announced long march towards Islamabad on May 25 and called people to participate in it. However, the federal cabinet has decided to stop long march and has imposed section 144 in Islamabad and Punjab province.
