Officials of Islamabad police reviewed security measures across the city and were directed to devise an elaborate foolproof security plan. For the success of this plan, instructions were given to all branches of the Islamabad police to ensure total synchronization.

The IGP ordered rigorous security measures for gatherings and particular participant screening. Safe city cameras should be used to maintain strict supervision, and entering any form of the vehicle near imam-bargas should be forbidden. He requested that barbed wire be installed close to gathering places and that police officers be stationed on building roofs along major routes.
