NewsIslamabad traffic plan amid sit-in by Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan at Faizabad Interchange

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan: Following hours of severe clashes between police and the Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) activists, now the protest by the religio-political party has been converted into a sit-in at Faizabad Interchange which connects the Twin Cities of Islamabad and Rawalpindi.

The TLP activists were protesting against the publication of blasphemous caricatures in the French Magazine Charlie Hebdo and anti-Islam remarks by the French President Emmanuel Macron, and demanding the Pakistani government to cut its diplomatic ties with France.

The congregation of protestors in Rawalpindi’s Murree Road and aggressive attempts by police to disperse them turned the situation violent, resulting in severe clashes and injuries to both sides.

To curtail the further influx of protesters into Twin Cities, the administration sealed the entry points of Rawalpindi and Islamabad with containers, devised traffic diversion plans, and also shut down the mobile services.

The following traffic plan has also been devised by the Islamabad police to ensure the smooth flow of traffic;
