The local administration has announced that Islamabad will close trails, parks, and tourist spots for a day due to security concerns. The decision was made following directives from law enforcement agencies. The closure aims to ensure public safety during an ongoing high-profile event in the city.
Officials confirmed that the restrictions will apply to popular locations, including hiking trails in the Margalla Hills, public parks, and other recreational areas. Authorities have urged residents and visitors to avoid traveling to these spots during the closure period.
According to the Capital Development Authority (CDA), security teams will be deployed to enforce the restrictions. Signs will be placed at entry points, and security personnel will stop visitors from entering the closed areas. The administration emphasized that the measure is temporary and will be lifted after the security situation returns to normal.
This is not the first time such restrictions have been imposed. In previous years, Islamabad authorities have closed public spots during important national or international events to ensure security. The current closure will help avoid any potential risks to citizens and tourists.
A CDA spokesperson stated that Islamabad to close trails, parks, tourist spots for a day is a preventive step rather than a response to a specific threat. “We want to ensure maximum safety for everyone,” the spokesperson added.
The administration has also advised citizens to use alternative recreational facilities in other parts of the city. Residents are encouraged to stay informed through official announcements for updates on when the parks and trails will reopen.
