ISLAMABAD: The Metro Bus service in the twin cities has been suspended indefinitely amid public rallies by members of the ruling Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and opposition parties.
According to the notification, the Metro Bus service will remain closed in Islamabad and Rawalpindi as a precautionary measure amid the scheduled power shows of the political parties.
“The move has been taken to ensure the protection of masses in case of any eventuality,” the statement from the Metro Bus service administration read.
Police from Islamabad shared the traffic plan over Twitter with a spokesman, stating that general traffic would be barred from entering the red zone, while traffic from Kashmir Chowk [roundabout] to Rawal Dam Chowk would not be permitted.
