Islamabad police imposed section 144
ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad police have said that section 144 is in force in the city and the security is on “high alert”, as the PTI is set to begin its countrywide protests.
Without directly referring to any scheduled protests, it said that there could be increased traffic near the F9 park and urged the public to avoid “unnecessary travel” on the nearby routes.
The police said that special forces of the Counter Terrorism Department had been deployed on patrol to deal with any emergency.
“Patrolling has been increased across the district while checking has been tightened at checkpoints,” it added.
PTI has announced the locations for its protests in northern Punjab, which it said would be against alleged rigging in the Feb 8 elections.
The protests would be held at F9 Park in the Rawalpindi district, outside the ECP office in Jhelum, outside the press club in Chakwal and at Attock’s Fawara Chowk.
Other locations include the district commissioner’s office in Khushab, Sargodha’s Qainchi Mor, Mianwali’s Rokhri Mor and Zame Wala Tehsil in Bhakkar.
