Location: Attock Bridge, Punjab-Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Border, and Faizabad, Islamabad
The convoy from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, led by Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur, heading toward Islamabad for the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) protest, has yet to cross the Attock Bridge due to extensive police deployment.
Key Routes Closed Off
Authorities have implemented strict measures, closing major routes leading to the capital, including Faizabad, a crucial junction connecting Islamabad and Rawalpindi. Containers have been placed to seal off these pathways, restricting access.
Limited Passage for Motorcyclists
Motorcyclists are being permitted to cross the Attock Bridge, but other forms of traffic remain halted. The only available entry point into Islamabad is through the IJP Road leading to Faizabad Bridge.
Lack of PTI Activity Near Faizabad
As of midday, no PTI workers have been spotted near Faizabad despite the heightened tensions and preparations for the protest.
Commuters Face Challenges
Local residents are encountering significant difficulties due to the road closures, forcing many to seek alternative routes to navigate the area.
