Islamabad High Court Orders Removal of Aabpara-Melody Road Barricades

Islamabad High Court (IHC) has ordered relevant authorities to remove roadblocks from Aabpara-Melody Road in response to a petition against the closure of major thoroughfares.

A media report states that Justice Mohsin Akhtar Kiyani heard a petition filed by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) against the possible closure of major roads across Islamabad. Deputy Commissioner Irfan Nawaz appeared before the court in this regard.

During the hearing, the petitioner’s counsel stated that the road in front of Lal Masjid is also barricaded. Displeased with the situation, the judge ordered DC Irfan Nawaz to immediately open the road.

The attorney also mentioned the Aabpara-Melody road in that discussion. Justice Kayani advised the public to contact their representatives to assert their rights, adding that the High Court will soon issue an order on the road closure.

The petition also condemned the Islamabad police’s unlawful arrests of civilians. The chief commissioner, deputy commissioner, and inspector general of Islamabad were added as parties to the suit.
