July 26, 2024 – The Islamabad administration has begun blocking entrance roads into the city with containers, ahead of Jamat e Islami (JI) Dharna call on D-Chowk Today after Friday Prayers, These measures aim to manage the expected influx of protesters and ensure public safety.
Traffic congestion at 26 Number Stop caused significant delays for commuters traveling from Taxila to Rawalpindi, making it difficult to access the Srinagar Highway earlier this morning around 9 am.
Sources indicate that the Islamabad administration plans to completely seal several key areas. Faizabad, Bara Kahu, and 26 Number Stop will be inaccessible due to the protests by the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and the JI sit-in at D-Chowk. Authorities started placing containers at major entry points around 3 am.
Currently, the Faizabad Expressway remains open in both directions, but the situation is fluid and may change. However, Faizabad Murree Road towards Pindi and Islamabad is completely sealed. Additionally, the Marriot surrounding area, known as the Red Zone, is sealed off. Taxila Margalla Road is also closed.
For those needing to move around the city, it is advisable to plan journeys carefully and stay updated on road conditions.
