ISLAMABAD: The police have demanded additional 25,000 personnel on Wednesday – and their accommodation – in view of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s (PTI) sit-in expected early in November, a local TV channel reported.
In a letter written by district magistrate, accommodation for the police personnel has been demanded. The letter demanded accommodation for the police in Aabpara, G-6 community centres and sports complex. Some space has also been demanded at Hajj Complex and AIOUK Meera Bagwal.
