Pakistan has implemented extensive security measures in Islamabad and Rawalpindi in anticipation of potential US-Iran talks scheduled to take place in the coming days. Authorities are concerned about the activation of sleeper cells, which could lead to suicide bombings or other terrorist activities. In response, major public transport bus terminals, including Faizabad and Pirwadhai in Rawalpindi and the Karachi Company terminal in Islamabad, will be closed from April 17 to April 26, disrupting travel for thousands. Heavy vehicular traffic will also be restricted starting April 18 to enhance security in densely populated areas. The Islamabad Police have requested additional paramilitary support to bolster security, implementing checkpoints and increased surveillance across key locations. These precautionary measures are a response to past incidents, including a recent mosque attack linked to transit vulnerabilities. The heightened security reflects serious concerns about potential threats during this diplomatically sensitive period.
