Peshawar is under governor's rule and emergency measures following political instability in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Security forces are deployed.
Peshawar, the capital of Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, has become a city of containers following the imposition of emergency rule and governor's rule. Security forces are heavily deployed, with riot police and prison vans visible throughout the city. The Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) party called for protests, but reports indicate a limited turnout.
This situation arises after the federal government assumed control of the province, previously governed by the PTI. The heavy security presence and the transformation of Peshawar into a 'city of containers' reflect the heightened political tensions and the state's efforts to manage dissent in the region.
