The police further stated that traffic from Sultanabad Road would be rerouted to Aiwan-e-Sadr Road and Khajoor Chowk.

From Khajoor Chowk, travelers arriving from the Shaheen Complex can turn left onto Aiwan-e-Sadr Road.

On a three-day official visit to Pakistan, Iran’s Raisi landed in Islamabad today. This is the first foreign leader to visit Pakistan since the general elections on February 8.
