PESHAWAR: Keeping in view the precarious law and order situation in the wake of forthcoming general elections, the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government has decided to instruct all local and international Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) to restrict their movements to the minimum till holding of the May 11 polls.

According to the new advisory, all NGOs and UN and Humanitarian Organisations working in the province will be prohibited from going to the sensitive areas till May 13.

In this connection, the provincial home and tribal affairs department has asked disaster management authority and provincial reconstruction & settlement authority that necessary instructions may be issued immediately for compliance.

More than 70 people have been killed and around 350 injured in the ongoing militant attacks on electioneering of certain political parties across the country since April 11.

The historic May 11 polls will witness the first ever democratic transition of power in Pakistan.
