ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s most populous Punjab province on Sunday extended a ban on the gathering of four or more persons by another seven days till Nov. 9, the provincial home department said, in a bid to maintain law and order and public peace. The ban was initially imposed on Oct. 8 amid violent protests by the Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) religio-political party, and has since been extended multiple times. TLP supporters had clashed with police on the outskirts of Lahore on their way to Islamabad.
