The Islamabad Traffic Police (ITP) has announced a detailed traffic advisory for November 24, 2024, as Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) stages a large-scale protest in the capital. The advisory aims to minimize disruptions and ensure public safety during the protest.
Road Closures in Islamabad
Key routes, including the road leading to Rawat T-cross, have been completely sealed for traffic in both directions. Containers have also been placed on major entry points to the city to avoid any untoward incidents.
Alternative Routes:
- On the Chongi No. 26 side, one lane remains open for two-way traffic to facilitate commuters.
- Some internal city roads are partially open but are advised to be used only for emergencies.
Advice for Citizens
The ITP has urged residents to limit unnecessary travel to avoid congestion and possible delays. Officers have been stationed throughout the city to provide guidance and ensure smooth traffic flow where possible.
Reason for Protest
PTI supporters are gathering in Islamabad to protest against the 26th constitutional amendment and demand the release of their imprisoned members, including former party chairman Imran Khan.
Federal Authorities Respond
Federal authorities have not granted permission for the protest, citing security risks. Section 144, which prohibits public gatherings, has been in effect in Islamabad since November 18 and will remain active for the next two months.
ITP’s Safety Measures
The Islamabad Traffic Police has implemented strict measures to maintain law and order, requesting public cooperation in following the advisory.
For real-time updates and guidance, citizens are encouraged to contact the ITP helpline or follow their social media channels.
Stay informed and plan travel accordingly to avoid inconvenience.
