A full bench of the Lahore High Court here on Wednesday summoned Lahore Capital CITY Police Officer on Thursday (today) to inform it about the security plan chalked out to maintain law and order situation in Lahore in wake of Pakistan Tehreek Insaf shut down call on December 15. The bench was hearing the petition of a trader Naeem Mir against PTI call to shut down in Lahore.
The petitioner through his counsel pleaded that the PTI had given shut down call in Faisalabad but administration failed to control the situation and a person was killed in altercation of PTI and PML-N workers. He apprehended that the same could also happen in Lahore on December 15.
