Islamabad: Islamabad Citizens Committee has expressed serious concern over the PTI’s threat of blocking roads towards the federal capital in the coming days.

The meeting, presided over by the committee’s President Latif Ahmed Rana recalled the plight of the citizens when their whole life was paralysed for three months during Dharna. The resolution adopted at the meeting urged the government to make adequate arrangements to ensure normal activities of citizens of Islamabad and Rawalpindi.

It also deplored the policy of agitation in political arena, particularly at a time when the country was facing many serious challenges on account of its national security. Life of the people is already miserable due to the prevailing socio-economic situation.
