Pillion riding has been banned in Islamabad from 24th January to 1st February. The order has been issued under section 144 to prohibit the use of motorcycle for pillion riding to avoid any threat to public peace and tranquility.

I feel sorry for the poor bike riders. Looks like the administration still over a period of so many years is resorting to primitive methods to avoid violence. I guess such laws work to choose between the lesser evil. But they cause a hell of an inconvenience to the public.

In my opinion, all the government owned, green number plate vehicles should be snatched from the bureaucrats and should be used for public transport to help commuters travel to their offices and places of work.

For those who know now, please make necessary arrangements.
