In wake of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s (PTI) long march, the government on Tuesday imposed section 144 of the constitution in federal capital.
In an order issued earlier yesterday (Tuesday), Islamabad Capital Territory Additional District Magistrate Rana Mohammad Waqas Anwar stated that certain segments of the society were planning demonstrations and processions in the city which could “disrupt public peace, tranquility and law and order situation”.
Time limit for the imposition of section 144 is two months, while it will be applicable to the Third Avenue, Murree Road, Khayaban-e-Suharwardi, Jinnah Avenue and Embassy road.
