Islamabad has recently imposed a two-month ban on swimming in various water bodies across the city. The Islamabad Capital Territory Administration has taken this action due to the potential risks associated with rain and flooding. The ban, which came into effect immediately on September 8, 2026, was issued under Section 144 of the Code of Criminal Procedure by Additional District Magistrate Islamabad Dr Anam Fatima.
Swimming has been prohibited in several locations, including Rawal Dam, Simly Dam, Swan River, Korang Nullah, Angori Road Nullah, Chattar Park Nullah, Shahdara Dam, Sunday-Mar Dam, and other streams and water channels within the Islamabad Capital Territory.
The administration has emphasized that swimming in these areas poses a serious threat to human life, as incidents related to such activities have already been reported. Immediate preventive measures were deemed necessary to safeguard residents and visitors. The ICT Administration urged citizens to strictly adhere to the restriction and avoid entering dams, rivers, and nullahs during the ban period. Violators of the ban may face legal action under the relevant provisions of law.
