Pakistan deploys security ahead of PTI's September 27 march
Islamabad and Rawalpindi authorities have escalated security ahead of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf's planned September 27 long march in support of jailed former prime minister Imran Khan, deploying extra police, around 1,550 containers and sealing key approaches to the capital. Several major motorways and interchanges, including the M-1 and M-14 and a section of the GT Road, will be closed from September 23, disrupting travel between Islamabad, Rawalpindi and northwest Punjab. Officials have also prepared Red Zone restrictions, sought thousands of additional personnel and seen some schools close, as the government says it will prevent protesters entering the capital.
