The Punjab government has extended the enforcement of Section 144 across the province for another 30 days for the maintenance of law and order in the province, reported 24News HD TV Channel on Friday.
According to the Punjab Home Department, the ban on flying drones in open areas will remain effective during this period.
The ban on drone operations will remain in force until April 25, with strict instructions issued to district administrations and police to ensure full compliance.
The decision aims to ensure public safety and prevent any potential threats to law and order.
However, authorities have allowed limited use of small drones at indoor events such as weddings and functions held in halls and marquees. Organisers of such events will be responsible for ensuring safe and controlled usage.
Officials further stated that law enforcement and intelligence agencies are exempt from the restrictions.
The government reiterated that maintaining peace, protecting citizens, and safeguarding property remain its top priorities.
