Islamabad, Pakistan – Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi has issued a stern warning to potential lawbreakers, stating that there will be “no mercy” for those who attempt to disrupt the peace and order in Islamabad.
The warning comes as the city is placed on high alert ahead of a planned protest by the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party. The government has taken extensive security measures to prevent any potential unrest, with over 50 entry points to the city blocked and heavy blockades placed to deter any attempts to breach the city’s defenses.
Naqvi emphasized that the government will not tolerate any attempts to disturb the peace or endanger the security of Islamabad’s residents. “We will take all possible measures to maintain law and order and protect the lives and property of citizens,” he said.
The Islamabad Police have also been placed on high alert, with additional personnel deployed to maintain order. The government has urged citizens to remain calm and cooperate with the authorities to ensure a peaceful and secure environment.
In light of the heightened security situation, the Islamabad Transport Authority has announced the closure of all transport hubs and major roads in the city, effective from 8:00 PM tonight. The M1 Motorway from Peshawar to Islamabad and the M2 Motorway from Lahore to Islamabad will also be closed. Commuters are advised to plan their journeys accordingly and take alternate routes if possible.
