Holiday for schools, offices expected in twin cities on October 4?

ISLAMABAD: A public holiday is expected for schools and offices in the federal capital, Islamabad and Rawalpindi on October 4 due to the PTI protest planned at D-Chowk.

As per the details, this comes as the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has announced a protest at D-Chowk in Islamabad. In preparation of the protest, local authorities have placed containers around twin cities. Due to roads closure in the twin cities, officials are considering a holiday to mitigate disruptions for residents and commuters.

Previously, PTI had announced a protest after cancelling a rally at Liaqauat Bagh in Rawalpindi, leading to the complete closure of roads between Islamabad and Rawalpindi.

This had caused significant difficulties for the public, prompting authorities to take pre-emptive measures this time around.
