PTI Nov 24 protest: Rangers and FC get special powers in twin cities

Amid the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Inaf protest call in Islamabad, the Interior Ministry has awarded special powers to Rangers and Frontier Constabulary for maintaining law and order situation in twin cities.

Interior Ministry has approved special powers for Punjab Rangers and FC under the Anti-Terrorism Act, 1997.

Interior Ministry approved the summary of Chief Commissioner Islamabad and issued a written order in this regard. Rangers and FC will assist the police in maintaining law and order in the federal Capital. 

Earlier,  Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) decided to establish monitoring units to oversee the November 24 march to Islamabad, as the authorities in the federal capital have formulated a strategy to forestall the demonstrators. 

According to the sources, a 10-member unit will monitor the caravans, which will enter the federal capital from different cities of Punjab. 

It added that the monitoring cell would provide information about workers to the leadership. The units will share all details, including the number of people in a caravan and the vehicles which will be used in the march.

This information will be collected by filming the caravans.

The party has assigned the responsibility to the elected MNAs and MPAs to collect funds from their constituencies.
