RAWALPINDI, Pakistan: The Rawalpindi district administration has once again imposed section 144 in the district for the next 48 hours.

However, according to the government officials, the decision was taken due to intelligence reports of terrorist threats.
The officials said that section 144 was imposed in Rawalpindi district with immediate effect on Thursday night due to security concerns, and it will remain in force till 48 hours.
Following the imposition of section 144, assembly of four or more persons, carrying weapons or any article which may be used as a weapon, use of laud speaker and pillion riding are prohibited.
