Karachi’s administration has announced that Section 144 will be enforced across the city for two days, starting from December 31 to January 1. This step has been taken to ensure safety during New Year’s Eve celebrations and to maintain peace and order.
According to the notification shared by Commissioner Karachi, Syed Hasan Naqvi, activities like aerial firing and fireworks have been strictly prohibited. The move comes after concerns about public safety during the late-night festivities, which often see reckless and dangerous behaviors. Every year, incidents of injuries due to stray bullets or firework mishaps are reported, creating panic in the city.
The authorities are treating this as a serious matter and have asked the police to remain on high alert. Clear instructions have been issued to take strict legal action against anyone breaking these rules. Whether it’s individuals setting off fireworks or those involved in aerial firing, violators will face consequences.
Karachi’s residents are urged to celebrate responsibly and avoid any activities that could put lives at risk. The local administration is focused on ensuring a safe environment for everyone to enjoy the New Year without fear.
This decision might feel restrictive to some, but it is aimed at preventing unnecessary accidents and chaos. Let’s hope this step helps Karachi ring in the New Year peacefully and safely.
