To ensure cleanliness, maintain peace and order, and provide better facilities for citizens, the Punjab Government has imposed Section 144 across the province.

The restriction will remain in place for one week, effective from May 27 (the first day of Eid) until June 2.

Under Section 144, the provincial administration has banned the burning of animal heads, trotters, and waste in public places throughout the designated period.
