Web Desk (LTN NEWS): Imran Khan, the leader of the PTI, is leading the long march to Islamabad, even though his party and the government are still at odds. The third day of the march came to an abrupt end when a journalist covering the march died in a tragic accident. She died when she fell down a container.
This is the PTI chair’s second march to Islamabad since he was kicked out of office earlier this year by a vote of no confidence.
October 31 – Monday
Pakistan’s political instability has also made the economy less stable. International rating agencies aren’t sure if the current government can stick to its tough economic policies with political pressure and elections coming up.
All roads that lead to Islamabad are getting more secure.
In response to the PTI’s long march, which is expected to reach the city’s outskirts on Thursday, the government of the federal capital has decided to fully secure all non-traditional routes between Islamabad and nearby areas starting on Tuesday.
In order to do this, trained snipers would be sent to the Margalla Hills and other nearby hilly areas that border the federal capital. It will make it impossible for criminals to use the routes.
Ali Amin Gandapur leaked an audio recording in which he said he was making plans to get a lot of weapons just outside of Islamabad to fight law enforcement. This led to the new and stricter steps being taken.
