ISLAMABAD - Federal Interior Minister Ch. Nisar Ali Khan Thursday surfaced on roads of the capital city especially the PTI-PAT protest sit-in venue and directed the authorities to open all exit and entry points of Islamabad.
Flanked by IGP Aftab Cheema and other higher authorities of Islamabad District, the minister visited Zero Point and directed the concerned authorities to tighten security in the city, which had faced a number of suicide attacks in the past.
