Section 144 imposed in Islamabad ahead of planned PTI protest

Authorities in Islamabad have placed the capital under Section 144, prohibiting public gatherings for a reported duration of up to two months. The district administration urged residents to avoid unlawful assemblies and warned against involvement in illegal activities ahead of a planned September 27 protest by the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party. It remains unconfirmed what specific enforcement measures or security deployments will accompany the order.
