Islamabad police arrest family visiting park from D Chowk

Islamabad police arrested a family from D Chowk as part of a crackdown on PTI protesters.

The woman, who identified herself as an Islamabad resident claimed that she was visiting the place, when she was detained and placed in a police van.

The Islamabad police have closed the city's main entry and exit points, with Margalla Avenue barricaded using containers on both sides.

The National Highways Authority announced the closure of motorways for "road maintenance" starting Friday at 8 pm.

As a result, motorways leading to Islamabad have been completely closed to normal traffic, with diversions in place, such as directing vehicles to Thokar Niaz Baig and the Babusabu side.
