Karachi bans gatherings over 5 ahead of Imran Khan protest
World
Karachi has just banned public gatherings of more than five people from September 24 to 30, as part of a nationwide effort to keep things calm.
The main reason? A big protest is planned by PTI supporters on September 27, demanding the release of jailed former prime minister Imran Khan.
Similar restrictions are popping up in other cities too, with extra security and blocked roads.
