KARACHI: The name of Dawn journalist Cyril Almeida has been put on the Exit Control List, officials said on Monday night.

It is not immediately known why his name has been placed on the ECL, but it is widely believed that the government restriction on his travel came following the publication of the story titled “Act against militants or face international isolation, civilians tell military” in the Oct 6 edition of Dawn.
