Islamabad tightens security ahead of Imran Khan's party protest

Islamabad is under heavy security as the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party, led by jailed former Prime Minister Imran Khan, plans a protest march on November 24, 2024. The government has sealed key roads and deployed security forces to prevent the demonstration. Despite government restrictions and warnings, PTI is moving forward with the protest, demanding the release of Khan and other leaders, and challenging the recent elections. The federal government has enforced Section 144, banning gatherings, and suspended train services in affected areas. Internet and mobile services have been partially disrupted in Islamabad and surrounding regions. Public transport has also been halted, with barricades set up at bus terminals. The situation remains tense as PTI insists on proceeding with its planned march.
