Additionally, the Punjab Home Department has prohibited temporary mechanical rides set up for Eidul Fitr celebrations, citing public safety risks. According to an official notification, only rides permanently installed at amusement parks and play areas will be allowed to operate, provided they have a valid safety fitness certificate.
