Pakistan’s capital Islamabad continues to remain closed for heavy traffic on Friday (April 24, 2026) as authorities await the possible visit of top leaders of the U.S. and Iran for peace talks, which were stalled due to differences on key issues.
The administrations of the twin cities of Islamabad and Rawalpindi had closed all major roads and markets in VVIP movement areas on Sunday (April 19, 2026) amid indications that the talks could begin any day during the week. More than 10,000 security personnel have been deployed to maintain law and order.
