In recent developments, Islamabad Police Crackdown against JI Protestors has intensified to control the situation at D-Chowk, focusing on the arrest of JI Protesters.
The police operation aims to disperse the ongoing sit-in organized by Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) and restore order in the area. Authorities have deployed significant resources, including water cannons and tear gas, to manage the protest. The crackdown has led to numerous detentions of JI Protesters, with many being transported in prisoner vans. This increased police presence and strategic blocking of key routes highlight the government’s commitment to addressing the unrest.
The arrested individuals have been transported in prisoner vans, and authorities have blocked routes leading to D-Chowk with containers. This strategic move aims to prevent further gatherings and maintain order in the area.
Containers have also been strategically placed at the city’s entry points, reducing major roads and intersections to a single lane of traffic. This has caused significant traffic congestion and inconvenience for residents.
Additional containers under the Zero Point Bridge have restricted traffic to two lanes, exacerbating the situation.
A substantial police presence at Faizabad includes units equipped with water cannons and tear gas. To manage the protest, police have been supplied with 10,000 tear gas shells from police lines.
Hospital emergency departments have been put on high alert until Monday, following orders for heads of three government hospitals to prepare for any potential emergencies arising from the ongoing situation.
This comprehensive security measure underscores the government’s commitment to maintaining law and order amidst escalating tensions.
