ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad administration has announced a change in the venue for the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) rally, scheduled for Sept 8, amid security concerns.
The rally was originally planned for Tarnol area, but now it has been relocated to an open area at the junction of the new Margalla Road, Iran Avenue, and GT Road, Sangjani. A notification from the office of the district magistrate confirmed the change, stating: “In continuation of office letter No. 10(3)-HC(G)/2024 dated 05-09-2024, permission is granted for a public gathering/jalsa on Sept 8, 2024, at the open space located at the junction of new Margalla Avenue, Iran Avenue, and GT Road, Sangjani, Islamabad. This location is 200 meters away from the earlier notified site, as indicated on the Google Map. The routes and terms and conditions notified earlier remain unchanged.”
The decision to shift the venue has been made due to security concerns, particularly threats posed by terrorist outfits, sources revealed. The law-enforcement agencies have been placed on high alert to counter any potential violence, with the Islamabad police instructed to take all necessary security measures in response to the situation.
