  "summary": "Section 144 has been imposed in Rawalpindi district for a month, according to the deputy commissioner's announcement on Saturday. The provision, part of the Code of Criminal Procedure, empowers authorities to ban public gatherings such as rallies, processions, and sit-ins, as well as the open display of weapons. This move comes amid the PTI's long march, which initially announced it would move towards Islamabad but has remained within Khyber Pakhtunkhwa so far. The KP chief minister has stated his intention to lead the convoy towards Islamabad. The District Intelligence Committee warned of an imminent threat to sensitive installations, major roads, and other infrastructure, which may pose a serious risk to human life, public property, and overall peace and order in the district. The order is set to expire on November 8.",
