Over 45,000 Cops DePLOY For PTI March in Rawalpindi

News Desk
RAWALPINDI: Authorities in Rawalpindi have placed security on high alert, deploying over 45,000 police personnel across the city to maintain law and order in anticipation of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Kisan March. The stringent measures come in response to the opposition party’s call for demonstrations, prompting the local administration to enforce strict surveillance and restricted movements throughout the garrison city.
According to the district administration, heavy contingents of police, elite force commandos, and traffic personnel have been stationed at key intersections, entry points, and sensitive locations.
Officials stated that the large-scale deployment aims to prevent any untoward incidents, safeguard public property, and ensure the unhindered flow of daily traffic despite the impending political gathering.
The heightened security posture reflects broader political tensions in the region, often leading to container placements, road closures, and disruptions in public transport. For ordinary citizens and commuters, these extensive security arrangements frequently translate into severe logistical hurdles, impacting local businesses, educational institutions, and routine economic activities across the twin cities.
Administrators have indicated that security protocols will remain strictly enforced until the political gathering concludes and the situation normalizes.
Law enforcement agencies continue to monitor developments closely, retaining the authority to implement further closures or diversions depending on the evolving circumstances on the ground.
