QUETTA: Amid security concerns, the Balochistan government has enforced Section 144 across the province, restricting public movement at recreational sites during Eidul Fitr 2025.
The Balochistan Home Department took this decision due to security concerns, and in Quetta, the district administration has banned visits to popular spots like Hanna Orak, Karkhassa, and Shaban. Citizens are urged to avoid these areas during the festive days.
Meanwhile, in a move to safeguard children, the Punjab government has temporarily banned children mechanical rides during the festivities of Eid-ul-Fitr.
According to an official notification, rides installed on a permanent basis at amusement parks and play areas will be allowed to operate, only if they have a valid fitness certificate to ensure safety standards.
In the notification, the deputy commissioner has been directed to enforce the ban on temporary basis on the occasion of Eid, warning the potential risk of mishap.
These rides, often assembled without proper checks, pose significant risks, especially with large crowds gathering during Eid. Only rides meeting safety regulations will be allowed.
