According to reports, the ban will apply to all television channels and news outlets, with Pemra warning that any violation will result in strict action. The regulatory authority has also asked the media to exercise caution in reporting on the incident and avoid sensationalism.

The decision to ban live coverage has been made in light of security concerns, with officials fearing that any live coverage of the event could be used to incite violence or provoke unrest. It is believed that the ban will remain in place until the conclusion of the hearing.

The move has been met with mixed reactions, with some critics arguing that it is an infringement on freedom of the press. However, others have praised the decision as a necessary step to ensure the safety of all those involved.

The ban on live coverage comes just days after an attack on Khan's residence in which police officers were reportedly injured. The incident has heightened security concerns, with authorities taking extra measures to ensure the safety of the prime minister and other officials.

Khan is set to appear in court to face charges of contempt, with opposition leaders accusing him of undermining the judiciary and the democratic process. The hearing is expected to be closely watched, with many anticipating a potentially explosive outcome.

As the ban on live coverage takes effect, media outlets are expected to provide updates and reports on the hearing through other means, such as social media and online news portals. It remains to be seen whether the ban will be lifted after the conclusion of the hearing, or if it will be extended in light of ongoing security concerns.
