LAHORE (HRNW) – The district government on Friday granted the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) permission to hold a rally in Kahna area of Lahore.
However, the former ruling party had initially requested permission to hold the rally at Minar-e-Pakistan.
During a meeting, the district intelligence committee reviewed the changing of the rally’s venue.
District officials evaluated the potential venues based on a police report, after which the deputy commissioner issued an NOC for Kahna.
Earlier, the Lahore High Court (LHC) directed the deputy commissioner to make a decision regarding the PTI rally by 5pm today.
The directive was issued during a hearing on a petition filed by PTI leaders Aliya Hamza and Sheikh Imtiaz Mehmood, seeking permission for a rally at Minar-e-Pakistan.
The case was heard by Justice Muhammad Tariq Nadeem and Justice Farooq Haider.
