The police arrested on Sunday 12 men for violating restrictions by swimming in the Hub River in Balochistan’s Lasbela.
A case has been registered against them under Section 144 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. The law empowers district administrations to issue orders in the public interest that may place a ban on an activity for a specific period of time.
The government imposed a ban on swimming in the river after incidents of people drowning increased. “Last week, an 18-year-old drowned in the river,” a police officer said.
Last year, five members of a family had drowned. They had gone there for a picnic.
