The federal administration in Islamabad has placed the capital under high security, placing shipping containers and barricades along key entry points and internal arteries. The heightened security measures come as authorities prepare for the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) political rally and long march scheduled for September 27. Heavy deployments of law enforcement personnel have been mobilized across sensitive zones, including entry roads connecting Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to Punjab, key intersections around Faizabad, and routes leading directly to the high-security Red Zone. Commuters traveling between Islamabad and Rawalpindi face mounting traffic delays and sudden diversions. Meanwhile, local transport associations have expressed concern over the pre-emptive impounding of commercial shipping containers, warning of trade delays and logistics disruptions across the region.
