Gilgit: Section 144 clamped again by district administration

Gilgit, April 14: Hours before the beginning of the 15th of April, the day Awami Action Committee plans to hold a peaceful strike across Gilgit-Baltistan, the Gilgit District Administration has clamped section 144 of the Pakistan Penal Code again.
The clamping down of section 144 is being seen as an effort to fail the Awami Action Committee which has previously locked down Gilgit-Baltistan while protesting against different issues, including the withdrawal of subsidy on wheat price.
The AAC, which is a coalition of around two dozen political parties and religious and progressive groups, had threatened in the past to go ahead with the strike despite of the imposition of Section 144.
