PTI supporters face arrests and teargas as they march towards Islamabad for protest

Supporters of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party are facing arrests and teargas as they attempt to reach Islamabad for a planned protest, despite a court ruling declaring the demonstration unlawful. The Islamabad High Court has instructed the government to maintain order without disrupting public life. The government has deployed heavy security measures, including blocking major roads and closing educational institutions. Mobile internet services have been disrupted in the capital, and police have arrested hundreds of PTI workers to prevent participation in the protest. Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi warned that any protesters entering the designated "Red Zone" would be arrested. The government has also issued a terrorism alert, citing potential threats during the protests, and has prepared hospitals for possible emergencies.
