PTI Rally: This is the Traffic Plan for Islamabad & Rawalpindi Today

The twin cities are abuzz with excitement and dread – depending on who you support – as Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) is planning to hold a huge rally there today.

To maintain the security during the rally and manage the numerous party workers and participants, over 600 policemen have been deployed for the rally. This was confirmed by the Islamabad Traffic Police (ITP) on Thursday.
