Pakistan Deploys Army in Rawalpindi for Six Months Under Article 245
Pakistan's federal government has approved the deployment of three Army companies in Rawalpindi for six months to perform sensitive security duties. The move, authorized under Article 245 of the Constitution, follows a request from Punjab's Home Department to assist civil administration in preventing undesirable situations and responding to unforeseen security challenges. The deployment takes immediate effect, with over 400 personnel expected to strengthen security in the strategically important city, home to the Army's General Headquarters. Specific threats prompting the deployment have not been detailed.
