Section 144 imposed in South Waziristan over security concerns
Section 144 imposed in South Waziristan covers Wana, Sararogha and nearby areas, with markets closed and emergency travel allowed only with police or security permission.
Lower and Upper South Waziristan district administrations issued separate Section 144 notices on Friday evening, covering Saturday.
Movement is restricted on several routes, including roads through Wana and Tiarza Gate, and markets are ordered closed in the Upper areas of Servekai and Sararogha tehsils.
The stated reasons are security concerns and the movement of logistical supplies for security forces.
Travel on affected routes is allowed only in emergencies, with prior authorisation from police or security forces.
People who violate the restrictions will be held responsible under the applicable law; the notices set the restrictions for Saturday only.
