Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan summoned an urgent meeting of the Islamabad police tonight at 10 pm at the police headquarter.
According to sources, a large number of police officials who are deployed on important official and public locations in the federal capital are expected to attend the meeting.
As many as 5,000 officials of the Punjab police, 1,000 from the AJK police and 3,000 Frontier Constabulary (FC) personnel will be deputed in the capital city to ensure security.
The entry point to the Red Zone from Radio Pakistan is closed and people can only enter the high security area from the Convention Centre or the Secretariat sides.
Meanwhile, security cameras have been installed at different places in the capital to check the movement of people and prevent any untoward incidents.
A camera has been fixed at the Zero Point Interchange which can cover most parts of the nearby area.
The police are confused whether the government would allow the participants of the ‘Inqilab’ and ‘Azadi’ marches to enter Islamabad or not.
However, the district administration of Rawalpindi has suggested that the marchers should be stopped in their respective districts otherwise it would not be possible for the local police to prevent them from reaching Islamabad.
Moreover, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif will address the nation today to take them into confidence about the government’s performance and the current political situation in the country.
