Officials claim that the district administration of Rawalpindi ordered the suspension to be put into effect.
Nonetheless, the Metro Bus service between IJP Road and the Pak Secretariat is still in operation in Islamabad.
Due to similar security concerns during the month of Muharram, Islamabad’s Blue and Green Line metro bus services have been suspended for the last two days.
Citing increased security concerns in the city, officials in Karachi have also banned the BRT and People’s Bus Service from the eighth to the tenth of Muharram.
