Pakistan's Balochistan government has imposed a ban on the movement of public transport vehicles during the night in the province, media reports said.

Public transport will not be allowed to operate on highways across the province from 5pm to 5am, reported Dawn News.

Route permits of companies which will be found violating the rules will be banned.

The decision was taken during a meeting chaired by Muhammad Hayat Kakar, the provincial transport secretary, on Tuesday.

Kakar said all deputy commissioners across the province had been instructed to take measures to halt public transport operating during the night, reported Dawn News.

Balochistan has witnessed a spike in terror activities in recent times.
