The Metro bus service in Rawalpindi has been partially suspended today (Friday) in connection with Chehlum processions.
According to the Metro Bus administration, operations between Saddar Station and Faizabad have been halted for the day on the instructions of the district administration. The measure has been taken to ensure security during processions marking the Chehlum of the martyrs of Karbala.
Officials confirmed that the Metro service within Islamabad — from IJP to the Pak Secretariat — will continue as per routine. Commuters who rely on the Rawalpindi section have been advised to use alternative transport for their travel.
Authorities said the decision is part of a comprehensive security plan for the twin cities, aimed at facilitating the smooth movement of processions and avoiding any inconvenience for participants.
The Chehlum of Hazrat Imam Hussain (RA) and his loyal companions is being observed across the country with solemnity and deep respect.
