Following arrival of Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (JUI-F) rallies at the Peshawar Mor, the Islamabad Capital Territory (ICT) administration Friday removed containers from different points of Expressway and Kashmir Highway, which were placed to guide the Marchers towards the venue site and avoid any untoward incident.
However, the roads leading to red zone would remain closed as per security and safety measures during the JUI-F’s public meeting, official sources told media.
The government had specified space for the public gathering in H-9 Sector after holding talks with the JUI-F leadership, besides providing water and toilet facilities there.
The Islamabad Traffic Police (ITP) have issued a traffic plan to avoid inconvenience to the commuters.
