Following a stressful night of skirmishes between law enforcement agencies and supporters of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, Islamabad awoke to a tense and calm morning on Sunday.
Since October 4, when PTI started its protest, life in the twin cities has essentially been suspended.
There is no longer a Metro Bus service running between the two cities. But by midday, cell service had gradually returned to the capital.
Daily life is significantly disrupted in Rawalpindi and Islamabad as a result of the closure of most companies. The Murree Road has been closed to all traffic for three days. In Rawalpindi, containers are positioned on the streets and roads that lead to Murree Road, severely impairing the lives of the populace. There are several obstacles on the path from Rawalpindi’s Liaquat Bagh to Faizabad.
