The Islamabad police has issued a security alert for the city’s entry and exit points after PTI chief Imran Khan announced the date when his long march would reach Rawalpindi.

The police said that officers equipped with body cameras would be stationed at the entry and exit points.

“The recording of body cameras can identify the elements involved in illegal activities. Body cameras will be used for the first time in Islamabad during the public order situation,” the police said.

It added that Rangers and Frontier Constabulary personnel would also perform their duties while equipped with modern technology.
