Under the directions of Deputy Commissioner Islamabad Irfan Nawaz Memon, the Assistant Commissioners conducted crackdown on sheesha cafes in their respective areas on Sunday, sealing several establishments in compliance with the Islamabad High Court’s order.

The crackdown came after a series of incidents in recent years in which people have been badly affected by the use of sheesha smoking.

Irfan Nawaz said that the owners of cafes are strictly prohibited from serving sheesha to customers until the Ministry of National Health Services, Regulation and Coordination (NHSR&C) clarified the rules and regulations regarding the use of sheesha in public places.
