What happened
Authorities have imposed Section 144 across Islamabad, prohibiting gatherings of five or more people in the capital city. The Islamabad administration also announced that the protest by Imran Khan's political party was planned to begin on September 27. Ahead of the mobilization, authorities sought the deployment of security forces, including Pakistan Rangers, in Rawalpindi, Attock, Jhelum, and Mianwali. The capital police requested resources from both Punjab and Sindh to manage the political activity.
Why it matters
The security arrangements alone are expected to cost over PKR 1 billion due to the postponement of the protest. The police sources indicated that the initial request for security arrangements, including container rentals, accommodation, and meals for personnel from Punjab and Sindh, was PKR 820 million for one week. This deployment strains resources in the affected cities and provinces.
Protest preparations are straining the resources of the capital city, requiring security personnel from other provinces.
