The Punjab government has introduced a ban on the installation of temporary mechanical swings throughout the province under Eid, citing public security concerns.

According to a review issued by the Punjab Home Department, the decision is aimed at preventing accidents and protecting life, as large crowds, including children, are expected to visit recreational places during the holidays. The prohibition will be enforced provincial transgression and Deputy Commissioners have been corrected to ensure compliance. However, permanently installed mechanical swings are allowed to operate, provided they will receive a valid fitness certificate.

The authorities have mandated for all permanent entertainment trips to undergo security inspections and meet regulatory standards. Deputy Commissioners are responsible for verifying compliance before issuing operational permits.

In addition, the Punjab Home Department has established a central control room to monitor security and enforce government directives under EID.

The control room works around the clock and coordinates with district administrations to maintain law and order. Highest officials remain on duty throughout the holidays to oversee security measures.
