  "account": "Islamabad's district administration has intensified its crackdown on illegal sheesha cafes, as part of a daily operation across the capital. Teams have been targeting these establishments in various parts of the city, without showing bias. According to the administration, they are strictly adhering to court orders and will continue their efforts until every last sheesha cafe is shut down in the city.\n\nEnforcement teams have been raiding these illegal cafes, seizing the equipment used and arresting those involved in their operation. The administration has also registered criminal cases against owners of cafes who are refusing to cooperate. This aggressive campaign was ordered after the Islamabad High Court issued a written ruling in favor of the ban on sheesha cafes.\n\nIn response to this court ruling, the deputy commissioner of Islamabad has directed assistant commissioners to intensify their daily operations across the capital. This directive includes areas like E-11 and Bahria Civic Center, with officials instructed to act without any discrimination. The administration's stance is clear - they will not stop until every illegal sheesha cafe in Islamabad is closed.",
