KARACHI, Jan 30: Nazim Karachi Naimatullah Khan has imposed section 144 CrPC, prohibiting movement of heavy vehicles within the limits of the city government from 7 to 10am and 4 to 8pm.

The ban has been imposed in view of the fact that movement of heavy vehicles within the limits of the city government is a major cause of frequent fatal accidents.

COLLECTION OF HIDES: The Nazim has, under section 144 CrPC, ordered that no person, agency, association and organization shall collect hide/skin in camps/vehicles, on roads, bungalows and offices on the occasion of Eid-ul-Azha.
