A summary was submitted by the Chief Commissioner of Islamabad in this regard on November 4.

“[…] the Federal Government in the exercise of the powers conferred under Sections 4 & 5 of Anti-Terrorism Act, 1997, is pleased to authorize the deployment of sufficient strength of Pakistan Rangers (Punjab) and Frontier Constabulary troops in ICT from 7th November 2024 onwards to handle the law & and order situation,” the notification read.
