Section 144 has been enforced in both Rawalpindi and Islamabad as security has been tightened ahead of scheduled meetings between Imran Khan and his family, legal team, and senior PTI leaders at Adiala Jail on Tuesday.
Authorities have increased security around the jail, and all schools and markets along Adiala Road have been closed as a precautionary measure.

Security at Adiala Jail has been placed on high alert, with additional checkpoints established along Adiala Road. More than 700 police officers and personnel have been deployed as part of a special security plan.
