Ongoing construction work at the Margalla Enclave Underpass on Park Road continues to cause traffic diversions and slow-moving conditions on adjoining routes. In Rawalpindi District, traffic movement remains normal on The Mall, airport-bound routes, and other major road networks. Additionally, Section 144 has been imposed until 25 June 2026 to enhance security and maintain public safety during Muharram. No traffic disruptions, protest activity, or scheduled demonstrations have been reported at the time of reporting. Furthermore, in Murree District, Section 144 remains enforced until 05 July 2026, prohibiting access to streams, waterfalls, and other water bodies, while bathing and swimming at dams and recreational water sites also remain banned as a precautionary safety measure. All major roads and intersections across the district remain operational.
#LAHORE
In Lahore, traffic flow remains generally normal across major road networks, while no protest activity has been reported across the city.

Motorists are advised to utilise alternate routes, including Shahrah-e-Bhutto Interchange, Shaheed-e-Millat Expressway, Kashmir Road, Nishtar Road, and Malir Mander Road, to minimise delays.
