City police on Tuesday sealed majority of the routes leading to Red Zone by placing containers and barbed wires to stop the entry of participants of Tehreek-e-Labaik Ya Rasool Allah (TLYR) long march who are likely to reach Islamabad in the early hours of Wednesday. The TLYR march started from Lahore to protest the changes made in the Khatam-e-Nabuwat declaration in electoral forms. The rally is led by Maulana Khadim Hussain Rizvi.
The rally started from Lahore and will come to the Red Zone. The district administrations of Rawalpindi and Islamabad have chalked out a plan to avert any untoward incident and block the entry of the rally in the federal capital, especially in the Red Zone. Heavy contingents of police, Rangers and Frontier Constabulary have been deployed in the Red Zone as well as various other parts of the city. The district administration has put all hospitals in the federal capital on high alert.
