Islamabad security is tightened to handle the PTI protest; Rangers and FC are given special powers.
Under the anti-terrorism act of 1997, the Ministry of Interior has given the Punjab Rangers and Frontier Corps extra authority to uphold law and order in order to handle the November 24 PTI protest march in the capital.
Rangers and fc were permitted to help the local police in maintaining public safety and averting disturbances during the demonstration after the Interior Ministry approved the report provided by the Chief Commissioner of Islamabad.
In order to preserve peace and order in the city, the Ministry of the Interior has released a formal notification outlining the security forces’ deployment and duties.
