Government of Punjab has declared six districts of the province - Multan, Sargodha, Lahore, Rawalpindi, Faisalabad and Gujranwala to be the most sensitive areas during the local council elections and decided to call the troops for the assistance of administration in maintaining law and order.
"Army will arrive in these sensitive districts on August 10, as the Government has decided to call troops and requisitioned military to maintain law and order during the local bodies polls," Punjab Home Secretary, Hassan Wasim Afzal told the Deputy Inspector Generals of these ranges.
