Key entrances closed
According to Islamabad Traffic Police, Express Chowk and Nadra Chowk entrances to the Red Zone have been shut down. The decision was made in light of ongoing law and order considerations.
Alternative routes suggested
Commuters heading towards the Red Zone have been advised to use Margalla Road, Marriott Road, and Serena Road as alternative entry points. These routes will remain open for access to the high-security zone.
Expected traffic delays
