In the wake of Tehreek-e-Labbaik’s Khatam-e-Nabuwat rally reaching Islamabad earlier today, citizens are having a hard time finding their way to their preferred destinations.
Major roads of Islamabad including Agha Shahi Avenue (Stadium Road to Zero Point), Murree Road etc. have been choked and the situation regarding traffic is worsening with every passing second.
The traffic at the twin cities has been badly affected by the rally, and residents of both Islamabad and Rawalpindi have poured out their anger over the social media.
The Capital City Police force outlined a comprehensive traffic plan regarding the rally, mentioning the choke points and affected areas for commuters.
The situation is pretty evident when you look at Google Maps, which is basically a network of red lines showing the traffic congestion on most major roads.

Even Kashmir Highway is blocked badly.
Avoid Kashmir Highway if you can. Traffic absolutely choked. #Islamabad

The blame game has already begun.
#Islamabad held hostage by 3,000 molvis. Incompetency of #PMLN Government, #Police exposed. Citizens left to their fate in traffic jams.

Islamabad Expressway is also severely affected.

The blockage has sparked outrage among the university students.
So if all the roads of Islamabad are blocked now due to a rally, that means I am stuck in my univ. Dont know if I feel good or bad about it😬

And we’ve heard that the rally is a small one, right?

Everyone’s wondering about the role of the traffic police.
Islamabad Ki "Dhoop" "Traffic " aur " Do Number Police"…. 😞😞😞😞😞😞😈😈😈😈#Hate
Baki I Love #Islamabad 😘❤— Laiba Malik PTI ❣ (@laibamalikWorld) November 8, 2017
Let’s hope that the congestion clears out soon and that citizens can reach their homes without any inconvenience at the end of the day.

Ohh bhai pta ha kis bat ki rally ha ya.?
Islam me kahan likha h k dusray musalmanon k liay mushkil ka sabab bano?
Km s km soch smj kr bola kro, khuda ka wasta hai.
Namoos e Risalat aur khatam e nabuwat k liye sab kuch qurban hai.
Bhai khud Qubaan ho, Humaara time or Himaari Studies Qurbaan na karo. Meharbaani aap ki

Hazrat Muhammad SAWW padail chala krty they ap b walk kro. Sunaat pay amal kro sirf naam k musalman na ban jao.
Dude. Khateme nabuwwat ka naam inka shashka hai. Kaash ye bari bari darian rakh k us nabi ki taleem pe b amal krte. He was Rahmatall Lil Alameen. These molvees have become Zahmatal Lil Muslimeen and Alameen both!
Clapping ap k lieay ap ki soch ko b bhai.

For your kind info, an infant expired today, just because this rally and protestors blockage, he was in ambulance going to pims from Jinnah gardens. do u really think these are the Teachings of Our Prophet (PBUH) ?
Islam Pyar ka Deen hy,
Islamabad police needs to do their job and keep the roads clear of protesters.
At least half of the road should be clear
I believe in displaying freedom of expression so much that the freedom of others are not restricted. By taking rallies out to the street and blocking roads by any one whether a religious party or any political one is a shame for us. You see there are those people who never take sides because they are more concerned about their livelihood. It might look brave to pull up such an act of agressiveness by blocking the roads and streets but how can you sleep properly by depriving people of their basic right to go out and earn a living.
This all comes down to the mindset of a nation. Its the very basic morality lessons everyone of us probably had in our lives like never speak loudly over the phone in a public bus, it looks hideous. But in this country, no one cares.
Islamabad aur baki cities ka wohi hisab hay jesa Western countries main aik mar jayay to haala laala, eastern main 50 mar jain to kuch nahi.
Hum Faisalabad main har jumayraat Shia, naqli peero ke roads block ker kay songs ke tarz per taqreebat shaano shokat kay liay kis peer nay zayada kharcha aur zayada ooncha speaker lagaya, roads per shaadian, sayaasi takriban khaas ker PMLN ke, chota city hay aik barda road block ho sara city ka hissa block ho jata hay,
pehlay he Faisalabadio ko roads rules ka nahi pata, na hamaray traffic signals chalay jab say sher ke hakomat ai, kharab nizam doran to waisay he damag phir jata hay, jesay ab mera phir raha :D :D :D
AAP loog danday lay kar nikla karo or in naqli peeron ko jootay laggaya karo.
Kal b roads band hon gen.?
