The National Counter Terrorism Authority (NACTA) has issued an alarming warning about potential terrorist threats targeting the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) protest. According to the alert, extremist groups may exploit the gathering’s large crowds to execute attacks, posing a significant risk to public safety.
In its advisory, NACTA urged law enforcement agencies to implement heightened security measures, including crowd control protocols, advanced surveillance systems, and rapid response teams to thwart any untoward incidents. Citizens were also advised to remain vigilant and report suspicious activities.
The PTI protest, expected to draw a massive turnout, is being closely monitored by authorities amidst growing political tensions. Security experts have expressed concerns that such events could become a soft target for militants aiming to destabilize the country.
This warning underscores the continued challenges faced by Pakistan in its fight against terrorism, as authorities strive to maintain peace and protect democratic rights.
