Police discovered a suspicious bag near the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) rally venue in Sangjani, Islamabad, sparking heightened security measures. The authorities found the bag close to the site of PTI’s power show and immediately called in the bomb disposal squad to inspect it. The police have increased security around the area to prevent any potential threats.
PTI aims to display its political strength during today’s rally in Islamabad. The party’s leadership has already visited the venue, ensuring that preparations are complete. The district administration granted conditional approval for the event, allowing it to take place from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. However, they emphasized that the rally should not disrupt businesses or hinder public movement.
PTI leaders have directed MNAs, MPs, and ticket holders from nearby constituencies to bring at least 500 workers, while those from distant areas are expected to bring 150 workers. PTI leadership has instructed members to travel in convoys from their constituencies instead of gathering directly in Islamabad. Party leaders from Rawalpindi, Murree, Hazara, Attock, Chakwal, and Jhelum are expected to bring additional supporters to the event.
PTI organizers, including Chairman Barrister Gohar, Umar Ayub, and the Jalsa Committee, have directed attendees to arrive at the venue by 2 p.m. to ensure smooth coordination and safety measures.
Islamabad’s Red Zone Sealed Off for Rally
In preparation for the rally, Islamabad’s Red Zone has been sealed, with containers blocking all entry and exit points. Only authorized personnel will be allowed access via Margalla Road. Authorities have placed containers in the Sangjani area, blocking GT Road in both directions, and have closed the motorway’s entry point to Islamabad at the 26th toll plaza.
The Khanh Pul area on the expressway has also been blocked, causing significant traffic jams along the Islamabad-Rawat stretch. The expressway from Rawat to Islamabad has been completely closed. Additionally, containers have been placed at Faizabad on Murree Road, sealing off the Faizabad interchange. The route from Rawat T-Chowk to Rawalpindi has also been blocked, further intensifying traffic congestion.
These security measures reflect the tense atmosphere surrounding PTI’s rally, as authorities work to maintain order while the party mobilizes supporters from across the region.
