KARACHI: Sindh Govt. that had imposed a month-long ban on pillion riding in the Port City on the advice of the Metropolis’ IG, took the notice back.
Following the assassination of Maulana Adil Khan here on Sat. 10th Oct. Top Cop of the Quaid’s ville asked Sindh Govt. to ban pillion riding as miscreants and disgruntled elements (riding bikes) may attempt to disturb the peace and create law and order problem in the Port City by carrying out target(ed) killings.
