The rally and subsequent sit-in have caused severe traffic disruptions, leading to significant traffic jams on major roads and creating difficulties for commuters traveling between Rawalpindi and Islamabad.

An official from the interior ministry, speaking anonymously to BBC Urdu, confirmed that the federal government has not yet initiated any negotiations with the protesting TLP group.
