ISLAMABAD: Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan has given permission to the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) to hold a rally in Islamabad. The PTI, however, will be allowed to hold the rally near Islamabad's Serena Hotel and not at D-Chowk.

Nisar has also ordered police and administration to remove containers and open road entries for federal capital. Several containers – including those placed near Faizabad Interchange and other entry points – have already been removed.

Nisar gave these orders after visiting various places in Islamabad along with the police chief, chief commissioner and other high ranking officials. The interior minister also directed police to make security arrangements for the PTI rally.
