Over one hundred bus terminal owners and union representatives participated in the consultation, during which the overall security situation was assessed, and operational suspensions were formally endorsed.

Transport union officials confirmed the suspension was implemented solely on security grounds, aimed at managing potential threats effectively and ensuring compliance with administrative directives.

Authorities indicated smaller bus stands across Rawalpindi may also face closure if the evolving security situation requires additional restrictions to safeguard public safety.

Inter-city buses and coaches could be barred from entering Rawalpindi depending on developments, with further measures under consideration by district administration and police officials.

Union representatives formally notified members of the decision and urged the public to cooperate fully with authorities during the ten-day suspension period.

Pakistan has placed Islamabad and Rawalpindi on high alert ahead of expected foreign delegations, police sources confirmed Thursday, citing intensified security requirements across both cities.

A high-level meeting reviewed the overall security situation and assessed administrative preparedness for managing heightened operational demands in Islamabad and Rawalpindi.
