Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government spokesperson Barrister Muhammad Ali Saif on Monday categorically denied speculation that the provincial government has imposed curfew in various districts.
\nHe termed the reports of a province-wide curfew fabricated and baseless.
\nBarrister Saif\u2019s statement comes amid speculations earlier that the PTI-led government has imposed curfew in most of the districts in KP.
\n\u201cCurfew restrictions are limited only to specific areas of Bajaur and Miranshah, due to local security concerns,\u201d he added and said that false reports circulating on social media were part of a politically motivated propaganda campaign aimed at misleading the public.
\n\u201cThese rumors are being spread by elements who wish to derail the province\u2019s progress towards peace and development,\u201d he said.
\nHe emphasized that normal life continues uninterrupted across the rest of the province. \u201cMovement is completely free throughout Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and commercial activities are proceeding as usual. Citizens should disregard rumors and rely only on verified official information,\u201d he added.
\nBarrister Saif also warned that legal action will be taken against those involved in spreading misinformation online. He expressed confidence that the people of KP were aware and resilient, and said that such propaganda efforts will not succeed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
