Islamabad Deploys Shipping Containers Ahead of Imran Khan Supporters' Protest
Authorities in Islamabad have deployed shipping containers along key routes to restrict movement ahead of a postponed protest march by supporters of imprisoned former Prime Minister Imran Khan demanding his release. The containers block access to sensitive areas like the Red Zone, causing travel disruptions for residents. Khan, serving multiple prison sentences on corruption charges, and his party allege political motivation behind his convictions. The government denies these claims, and the march was rescheduled from September 27 to October 4.
