LAHORE: The Punjab Police is all set to launch a “grand operation” to arrest the “terrorists” allegedly holed up in Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan’s Zaman Park residence as the 24 hours deadline ended at 4pm on Thursday.
According to the police, all roads leading towards Zaman Park have been blocked and a heavy contingent of law enforcement is in the area.
The Punjab government had given a 24-hour ultimatum to the PTI to hand over the “terrorists” who had taken refuge in the former prime minister’s home. The government had given the PTI 2pm deadline which has now ended.
Sources said that the “grand operation” may be launched after the deadline ends.
Sources shared that the inspector general of Punjab police and the capital city police officer (CCPO) have asked the police to remain “vigilant”.
Punjab caretaker Information Minister Amir Mir said Wednesday night that the provincial government has no plans so far of arresting PTI Chairman Imran Khan.
