Ban on pillion riding in Karachi, Hyderabad
KARACHI: Just a few days after lifting the 2 year long ban on pillion riding the Sindh Government again imposed a ban in Karachi and Hyderabad till 12th Muharram ul Haram citing security reasons ahead of Muharram, Geo News reported Thursday.

On November 23 the ban was lifted that eased the hardships faced by the poor Karachiites.

The ban on pillion riding was initially imposed in 2008 to prevent target killings in Karachi but the killings continued unabated.
