LAHORE: The Lahore police have blocked all the roads leading to Zaman Park, the residence of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan, ARY News reported on Wednesday.

According to details, a heavy contingent of Punjab police was deployed on the roads leading to Zaman Park while barriers were installed on several roads.

Sources told ARY News that Canal Road, Dharampura Chowk and Allama Iqbal Road have been closed to traffic. Police personnel wearing bullet proof jackets were present along with mobile vans.

Earlier in the day, Punjab government gave a 24-hour ultimatum to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) to hand over ‘terrorists’, who attacked Army installations after the arrest of former prime minister Imran Khan, hiding in Zaman Park.

“30 to 40 terrorists who attacked Army installations including Jinnah House are present in Zaman Park,” Punjab Caretaker Information Minister Aamir Mir said while addressing a press conference.

The Punjab minister said that the agencies were able to confirm the presence of the “terrorists” in Zaman Park through geo-fencing.

“The intelligence report that has come is very alarming,” said Mir. “Handover the terrorists within 24 hours or the law will take its course.”

“PTI is starting to behave like a non-state actor,” said Mir. He added that the PTI chief has been targeting the military for over a year and urged the party to hand over the “terrorists”.
