Rawalpindi and Islamabad are facing disruptions as protests and road closures create challenges for residents. The authorities have announced that Quaid-e-Azam University will suspend its transport services from Friday, November 22, to Monday, November 25, 2024. During this time, all academic activities and exams at the university will also remain on hold, as per the official notification.
Students and faculty have been advised to stay updated on further announcements. Once the situation stabilizes and roads reopen, postponed exams and classes will resume. Officials have assured that students will be given at least three days to prepare for their exams once the new schedule is announced.
On the political front, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has called for protests, adding to the city’s tense environment. Security forces are ramping up preparations to manage the expected crowds. In the police lines, officers are strategizing to handle the protests effectively, assessing personnel fitness and assigning specific duties.
As the city braces for these challenges, the authorities are urging patience and cooperation from residents. Both students awaiting their exams and citizens navigating roadblocks are hoping for a quick resolution to this situation.
