Pakistan: Section 144 in Balochistan to prevent wheat, flour smuggling
Balochistan authority has imposed section 144, especially in Naseerabad division, to prevent the movement of wheat and flour from the province to other provinces, media reports said.
The initiative’s aim is to prevent wheat produced in the province from being taken out of the province so that there is no shortage of wheat and flour in the province until the next wheat production season and their prices can be maintained, as per a notification issued by the Government of Balochistan’s Department of Food as quoted by ANI.
It has been stated in the notification that the police levies and the administration should ensure full implementation of Section 144. It has been directed to take action against those who violate it, no matter how influential they are, as per Daily Intekhab as quoted by ANI.
Pakistan is passing through an economic crisis at present.
