Islamabad ground to a halt as authorities deployed heavy shipping containers to seal off major thoroughfares, preemptively thwarting a planned protest march by imprisoned former Prime Minister Imran Khan’s Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party.
The steel barricades transformed the capital into a fortified grid, severely disrupting daily commutes, closing educational institutions, and paralyzing commercial hubs.
Security forces maintained a high-alert posture across key entry points to enforce stringent lockdowns, drawing sharp condemnation from PTI leaders who accused the government of suppressing democratic rights and escalating political tensions through authoritarian suppression.
