The Pakistani government has authorized the deployment of three army companies in Rawalpindi for a six-month period to handle sensitive security duties. This decision was made following a request from the Punjab Home Department and is authorized under Article 245 of the Constitution. The troops will be deployed immediately to help maintain law and order, secure sensitive locations and key roads, and respond to any unforeseen incidents.
The deployment, which may involve more than 400 personnel, is a precautionary measure rather than a response to a specific crisis. The exact locations of the troops have not been disclosed publicly.
