The Peshawar administration has banned the sale of junk food near schools and aerial firing in the city, particularly airport surrounding areas. A notification issued by the Deputy Commissioner of Peshawar enforced Section 144, prohibiting the sale of junk food within a 150-meter radius of schools. The notification reads, “Legal action will be taken against vendors selling substandard chips and other junk food items under Section 144. This order will remain in effect for 30 days.”

Section 144 has also been enforced around Peshawar Airport for two months. It bans aerial firing, kite flying, pigeon flying and the use of laser lights in the airport’s locality. The notification reads that laser lights and pigeon shops around the airport will also be prohibited. This decision aims to ensure the safety of aircraft and the general public.
The Deputy Commissioner has assured that the authorities will closely monitor compliance and take necessary actions against violators. Earlier on Monday, DC Multan took similar action by imposing a ban on a specific candy. The Deputy Commissioner highlighted that the candy named “Strawberry Quick” is a “deadly poison,” and children are being given “crystal meth” in the form of candy.
Parents have been advised to prevent their children from accepting any doubtful candy and to be proactive in preventing their children from consuming any suspicious treats including “sweet poison.” The district administration took prompt action against the rising trend of drug addiction amongst children.
