Islamabad’s got the containers out again! Yup, it’s another day of traffic chaos as the capital preps for a fresh wave of PTI protests – and it’s no small deal this time.

The city’s Red Zone has been sealed tighter than ever, with massive containers blocking all major roads

If you were hoping to take a smooth drive around the city today, better luck next time.  Officials say only Margalla Road is open right now – the rest? Good luck navigating those blockades!

But why all the fuss, you ask?

Well, PTI Chairman and former PM Imran Khan has called for nationwide protests and his supporters aren’t holding back

The big plan includes rallies in cities like Mianwali, Bahawalpur, and Faisalabad, but the real showdown is expected to go down right here in Islamabad’s D-Chowk this Friday!

Morning commuters were hit hard, bumper-to-bumper traffic at Faizabad left cars stuck in mile-long queues, with frustrated office-goers and students caught in the mess. But that’s not all. The Islamabad Capital Territory (ICT) authorities have dropped Section 144 like a bomb, banning all public gatherings in sensitive zones.

Plus, the Peaceful Assembly Act has kicked in, giving law enforcement the green light to keep things in check

Tensions are high, and you can feel the buzz across the city. The million-dollar question: Will the PTI go through with their plans? Or will the heavy security presence force a change of strategy?
