ISLAMABAD: In preparation for Pakistan’s Independence Day on August 14, the Islamabad administration has imposed a complete ban on the sale and use of ‘baajas’ (vuvuzelas) within the federal capital.
While national celebrations are traditionally marked with great enthusiasm, officials note that certain practices, such as the use of loud horns, often cause public disturbance.
As in previous years, the city administration has reiterated its decision to curb such disruptions. The Deputy Commissioner of Islamabad has officially prohibited both the sale and use of baajas, warning that violators will face strict legal action.
All assistant commissioners and magistrates have been directed to confiscate horns from roadside vendors operating in their jurisdictions. The DC has further instructed field officers to launch immediate enforcement drives and continue daily operations until August 14.
Any officer found negligent in enforcing the ban—especially in areas where stalls are found selling prohibited horns—will be held responsible.
This move is part of broader efforts across the country to maintain order and minimize public nuisance during Independence Day celebrations.
