LAHORE: The Punjab government on Wednesday obtained the services of the Pakistan Army in a bid to maintain peace and security in the province after arrest of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan in Al-Qadir Trust case.
. The request for the deployment of troops was made by the Punjab Home department, which was approved by the federal Ministry of Interior.
According to the Department of Interior, the Pakistan Army have been handed over to the Punjab government for the establishment of peace and security. The sources said that the army would work in collaboration with the district administration to ensure peace and security in the province.
The decision to deploy the Pakistan Army was made after the government received reports of a potential security threat in the province. The Punjab government took swift action to address the issue and requested the services of the Pakistan Army to maintain law and order.
The Pakistan Army is well equipped to handle any security threats and has extensive experience in maintaining peace and security in the country. They have been instrumental in maintaining peace in volatile areas of the country, and their presence in the province is expected to have a positive impact on the overall security situation.
The deployment of the Pakistan Army is a temporary measure and will be reviewed periodically to ensure that the security situation is stable. The Punjab government is committed to providing a safe and secure environment for its citizens and will continue to take all necessary measures to achieve this goal.
The latest reports suggested that the PTI workers and supporters are protesting on the roads and they have set the tyres on fire in different cities of the province. The public transport is suspended while the internet services have also been suspected amid the protests against the arrest of PTI chairman.
