In the aftermath of the PTI long march, which is expected to reach the outskirts on Thursday, the administration of the federal capital has decided to fully secure all non-traditional passages linking Islamabad from neighbouring areas beginning tomorrow.
Trained snipers would be deployed across the Margalla Hills and adjacent hilly areas that form the federal capital’s border. It will make criminal trafficking through the routes impossible. The new and stringent measures have been implemented in response to Ali Amin Gandapur’s audio leak about large-scale weapons arrangements just outside Islamabad for fighting law enforcement agencies.
According to reliable sources, trained and highly skilled snipers are being deployed at these locations for the first time, as some PTI leaders plan to use war tactics. The Gandapur audio tape has sparked fear and harassment in Islamabad. “The administration is determined to keep the city safe and secure during these trying times.” “Every possible step would be taken to ensure the city’s peace and order,” sources added.
They claimed that the capital’s diplomatic community was terrified of the situation and had expressed their concerns to concerned officials. The people of Islamabad have also praised the Red Zone’s expansion to Abpara. The diplomatic community has also praised the initiative because it will keep potentially volatile areas away from their facilities. Meanwhile, DIG Operations Islamabad Sohail Zafar Chatta has directed police and FC officials to be on high alert and prepared to deal with any situation that arises. On Sunday, he met with police and FC officers who were on duty and assured them that the law enforcement agencies would take every precaution to protect citizens’ lives and property, as well as private and commercial property.
He claimed that every cop was doing their very best to keep the capital’s peace and order. He swore that the Islamabad Capital Police would do all required to defend the lives and property of the populace as well as private and commercial properties, and that they would never permit anyone to disturb the tranquilly of the city. All officials have been told to maintain vigilance in their particular zones, periodically brief the staff to deal with any situation, and assess the Jawans’ own performance of their tasks. All employees deployed on duty would be sent with riot gear following the high command’s orders. Different parts of the city were visited by law enforcement officers to check the guidelines.
