Pakistan has begun taking stringent security measures for the safety of foreign delegates ahead of a potential second round of talks between the US and Iran, despite no official announcement about the talks.
The security measures include the deployment of over 10,000 police personnel and the establishment of over 600 checkpoints across Rawalpindi, a city adjacent to Islamabad.
The authorities have also announced the closure of several sensitive areas surrounding Nur Khan Airbase and Islamabad International Airport, and a complete ban on drone flights, pigeon flying, and aerial firing in Rawalpindi.
A red alert has been declared in Rawalpindi, particularly in the vicinity of Nur Khan Airbase and Islamabad Airport, and special security measures have been enforced within the jurisdictions of New Town, Sadiqabad, and Chaklala police stations.
The Islamabad district administration has also announced to suspend public and heavy transport in the capital city ahead of the possible US-Iran talks.
Several universities in Islamabad and Rawalpindi have announced changes to academic schedules, shifting classes online and postponing examinations ahead of the expected second round of the Iran-US talks.
