The Punjab Assembly has passed the Punjab High Security Zones (Establishment) Bill 2026, allowing the government to declare any area as a high security zone and regulate public gatherings, protests, rallies, and sit-ins across the province. No gatherings will be allowed in high security zones, while events in designated areas will require prior approval from the district administration at least 20 days in advance. The law introduces strict penalties, including imprisonment from six months to three years and fines of up to Rs500,000 for violations.
