By-elections: Punjab govt seals province’s border with KP

The Punjab government on Saturday sealed the flyover connecting the province to Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) by placing a container on it to maintain a law and order situation during the by-polls to be held on 20 Punjab Assembly seats tomorrow (Sunday, July 17, 2022).

According to the channel’s sources in the Punjab Police, the provincial government made the decision after receiving a threat alert from the intelligence agencies.

Long lines of vehicles waiting to cross the border quickly formed after the border was sealed.

Sources added that there was strong local opposition to the Punjab government’s decision, so if the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) approved, passenger buses, patients, and residents of the katcha area could cross the bridge.
