The Government of Sindh today prolonged a comprehensive ban on all public demonstrations and the display of weapons throughout the province for an additional month, commencing 1 April 2026.
A notification issued by the Home Department confirmed the extension of the order under Section 144 (6) of the Criminal Procedure Code (Cr.P.C.), maintaining restrictions on all forms of wall chalking, protests, sit-ins, and rallies.
The directive provides a specific allowance for guards of registered private security companies, permitting them to carry weapons at their places of duty during their work hours.
However, the order strictly prohibits security personnel from brandishing or openly displaying their arms while moving in vehicles or patrolling in open spaces. The government specified that firearms must be kept concealed to avoid creating insecurity among the general public.
In pursuance of the law, Station House Officers (S.H.Os) of concerned police stations have been authorised to register complaints in writing under Section 188 of the Pakistan Penal Code (PPC) against any violators of the Section 144 imposition.
