Pillion riding (double sawari) has been banned in Hangu district in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to stop target killings. Mobile service was blocked in Tank District in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
It seems that law enforcement agencies instead of giving relief to people are merely torturing common people in the name of security purpose.
There are thousands of ways to catch terrorists but, instead of doing something meaningful, the government is imposing this ban and blocking those things which are directly related and useful to common people.
While the banning of pillion riding may be acceptable on some grounds (even though it also causes inconvenience to the common person) but the blocking of mobile service is not justified at all and it should be opened at the earliest.
