QUETTA: Section 144 has been imposed across Balochistan for one month, prohibiting public gatherings, sit-ins, rallies and protests.

According to a notification issued by the provincial authorities, covering one's face and wearing veils at public places have also been prohibited.

The order will remain in force for 30 days, with law enforcement agencies and district administrations directed to ensure its implementation.

Earlier, Section 144 was imposed in Islamabad amid security concerns ahead of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) possible long march.
