Authorities have banned pillion riding—carrying a passenger on a motorcycle—for two days in anticipation of Independence Day celebrations. The ban, effective immediately, aims to bolster security and prevent potential disruptions during the festivities. This measure is a standard practice implemented annually to mitigate risks and maintain public order. Law enforcement officials will be enforcing the restriction strictly, and violators may face penalties. The decision follows intelligence assessments indicating a possible threat during the national holiday. The ban is expected to be lifted after the Independence Day period concludes, restoring normal traffic regulations.
