It is also reported that Murree Road was blocked by placing a container at Faizabad. The employees and businessmen face severe problems while mobile service will be partially blocked in Rawalpindi today.
Due to the possible protest of PTI, the Metrobus service from Rawalpindi Sadar station to IJP station will remain completely closed, while the Metrobus service from IJP station to Pak Secretariat in Islamabad will remain operational.
On the other hand, Murree Ghora Gali, 50 km away from Rawalpindi, was closed with a truck. Murree Motorway was also closed for general traffic. Due to road closure, goods vehicles were also stuck due to which goods worth millions of rupees are at risk of being damaged.
Due to the closure of the roads from Murree to Islamabad, the citizens were trapped in Murree. The Murree Traffic Police could not provide alternative routes to the citizens due to which they are facing severe difficulties.
