Authorities have announced extensive precautions, including the deployment of large police contingents and the sealing of 24 important places in the city, in response to the PTI’s (Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf) call for a protest at D-Chowk in the federal capital on November 24.
Containers will be used to block off all of Islamabad’s entrances and exits, including the Red Zone.
Beginning at 8 p.m. tonight, the Islamabad transit authority has mandated that all transit terminals be closed, with bus stations to be covered with tents.
Additionally, all entry and exit points will be heavily policed and subject to stringent surveillance. To prevent access to the protest site, containers have been hauled into the city and will be positioned thoughtfully around main thoroughfares and ports of entry.
