ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad Traffic Police (ITP) has announced a special traffic diversion plan for Friday to manage movement around Faizabad, as several roads in the federal capital remain closed due to a protest.

Authorities have requested citizens to use alternate routes to avoid inconvenience. According to official updates, the entry of heavy vehicles into Islamabad will stay suspended until further notice, while diversions for light traffic have been set up at different locations.

Key Diversions:

• Rawal Dam Chowk: Traffic from Bhara Kahu, Murree, and Islamabad heading to Rawalpindi should use Park Road, Tramri Chowk, Lehtrar Road, Khanna, and the Expressway. Those going to the Airport are advised to use Kashmir Chowk and Srinagar Highway.
