Amid rising Indo-Pak tensions and the looming threat of conflict, the federal capital has begun emergency preparations, with significant announcements made late Wednesday.
As part of heightened security measures, the Quick Reaction Force (QRF) has ordered all commercial centres and marketplaces across Islamabad to switch off their lights until further notice.
The directive, which aligns with broader government instructions, aims to reduce visibility and potential targets in the event of hostile actions. Traders, shopping malls, and commercial plazas have been directed to comply immediately with the lights-out order.
Authorities are on high alert, with the QRF mobilizing in key locations to enforce the blackout. While no official curfew has been declared yet, the situation remains fluid, and further instructions are expected depending on the evolving scenario between India and Pakistan.
