PTI members arrested for resisting encroachment operations

Following the encroachment operation at the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) head office, the Islamabad police issued arrest orders for party members resisting the operation.

The police have instructed the arrest of individuals opposing the anti-encroachment efforts, and additional police forces have been dispatched to the site.

Earlier, the Capital Development Authority (CDA) anti-encroachment team, accompanied by the district administration, initiated the operation at the PTI head office in Sector G8/4.

Heavy machinery and police personnel were deployed outside the PTI central office. CDA officials stated that they are demolishing illegal constructions of offices belonging to political parties.

The plot on which the PTI office is situated is under scrutiny, as it was allotted to an individual named Sartaj Ali. However, significant encroachments were made by occupying adjacent land and constructing an additional floor in violation of building by-laws.
