In order to maintain peace and order in the federal capital of Islamabad, armed forces of the Pakistan Army have taken control of Islamabad, while the mobile phone service in the twin cities is likely to remain closed today.
Pakistan Army troops have also left for Islamabad from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
Pakistan Army troops are patrolling various highways in Islamabad, while the mobile phone service in the twin cities is likely to remain closed today and the obstacles will not be removed.
It should be noted that yesterday, a notification was issued for the deployment of the army from October 5 to 17 in connection with the security of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) meeting in the federal capital Islamabad.
The notification said that the deployment of the army for the Shanghai Cooperation Organization Summit has been made under Article 245 and that the army will be deployed in the capital from October 5 to 17.
It should be remembered that two days ago, Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi had indicated the deployment of the army in the capital.
He had said that we have to deploy Pakistan Army and paramilitary forces from October 5 and make security foolproof.
He asked Tehreek-e-Insaaf to postpone the protest in and around the capital and said that the heads of state are coming to Pakistan after so many years, so we all have to show prudence. Look at the interest and then the interest of the party.
He had said that there will be a local holiday in Islamabad during the Shanghai Cooperation Organization conference and a regular notification will be issued in this regard.
