  "account": "In Islamabad, Section 144 was imposed on September 18 by Islamabad Additional District Magistrate Dr Anam Fatima, remaining in effect until two months later. This restriction prohibits gatherings, rallies, and demonstrations in the federal capital, citing reports of unlawful assemblies planned by certain segments of society. The order emphasizes that such activities threaten public peace, safety, and property, potentially leading to riots or sectarian riots. Citizens are urged to avoid illegal activities and cooperate with security institutions. The restrictions also apply to the Red Zone, with no gathering or assembly permitted in the city. Preparations for the PTI long march, led by party founder Imran Khan, have entered the final phase in Rawalpindi Division, with over 43,000 personnel deployed across various districts to prevent protesters from entering Islamabad and Rawalpindi.",
