QUETTA (Dunya News) - The provincial government has placed a ban on pillion riding in the provincial capital Quetta on Friday owing to security concerns, Dunya News reported.
“Pillion riding has been banned from February 2 to February 5 in the provincial capital,” said a statement issued by the Balochistan Home Department on Friday.
The decision to impose Section 144 and ban on pillion riding has been taken in view of the recent surge in terrorism and target-killing incidents in Quetta. Elderly citizens, women, children, security personnel and journalists have been exempted from the restriction on pillion riding.
