Karachi: In order to maintain the respect and reverence on the occasion of Shab-e-Baraat, the government has imposed Article 144 in post parts of the country after which the usage, selling and purchasing, storage, cracking of fires and all other activities relating to it has been banned at the holy night.
The decision has been taken in a bid to give the religious persons peace and security at the night of prayers and blessing.
It is pertinent to mention here that the same decree was passed on the previous year but regardless of the announcement, same activities continued to happen that night.
