PTI convoys, led by Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur, are marching towards Islamabad despite heavy police resistance. Clashes have resulted in injuries to over 70 officers, including the death of a police constable from head injuries. The PTI's protest aims to meet four demands, including the release of political prisoners and restoration of democracy. The government has imposed Section 144 to prevent gatherings and has blocked main routes to Islamabad, leading to significant disruptions. Internet services have been suspended in areas deemed security risks as both sides remain firm in their positions. Several PTI leaders have been arrested, and the government is enforcing strict measures to maintain order during the protests.
