-Preparations complete –
Preparations by the PPP to welcome Zardari to Pakistan were completed earlier today. A special bomb-proof truck has been brought to the Old Terminal which the former president would use to deliver his address upon arrival.
DIG Traffic Asif Aijaz Sheikh said no roads would be closed for the rally, adding that Shahrah-e-Faisal would also remain open.
Traffic would be halted only during the VIP movement, he said. The road leading from Terminal 1 to Star Gate would be closed for traffic in light of the PPP rally; only people attending the rally and journalists would be allowed to go to the area designated for the rally, he added.
