ISLAMABAD: Due to the shortage of manpower and engagement of police and the district administration in maintaining peace, seven sub-sectors in the capital city could not be sealed.
Officials of the capital administration said the District Health Office had recommended sealing the seven areas due to an increase in the number of positive cases there. In response, the deputy commissioner office issued a notification to seal G-6/1, G-6/2, G-7/2, G-8/1, G-9/2, G-10/4 and G-11/3.
A senior officer of the administration told
Dawn on condition of anonymity that as per the notification the sub-sectors were to be sealed for 10 days at 8pm on April 13. But due to shortage of police officials, the areas are yet to be sealed, he added.
