Junk Food Sales Banned Near Schools To Promote Healthy Eating

According to sources, the Peshawar government has banned aerial fire in the city, especially around the airport, and the selling of junk food close to schools.

The Deputy Commissioner of Peshawar has implemented “Section 144”, which restricts the selling of junk food within “150 meters” of schools, according to a notification released here.

Under “Section 144”, sellers supplying inferior chips and other junk food items would face legal prosecution, the notice stated. “This order will be in force for thirty days.”

Takes Quick Steps

Additionally, for the past (2) months, Peshawar Airport has been subject to “Section 144”, which prohibits the use of “laser lights, kite and pigeon flying, and aerial gunfire”.

According to the letter, pigeon stores and laser lights near the airport will also be banned. In order to protect both the public and airplanes, this decision has been made.

Enforcing these rules is an active attempt to safeguard residents’ and students’ health and safety. The district administration’s activities show its commitment to upholding regional authority and addressing public concerns.

Officials have pointed out how crucial it is to follow these rules in order to protect community safety. The authorities will rigorously monitor fulfillment and take appropriate action against offenders, the Deputy Commissioner has promised.

On the other side, DC Multan took the same step earlier on Monday by banning a particular type of confectionery. The Deputy Commissioner emphasized that children are being fed “crystal meth” in the shape of candy and that “Strawberry Quick” candy is a “deadly poison.” Parents have been urged to be active in stopping their children from eating any questionable goodies, such as “sweet poison,” and to forbid them from taking any dubious candies. Aware of the rising incidence of drug addiction in minors, the district administration acted quickly.
