Foreign Minister (FM) and Deputy Prime Minister (PM) Ishaq Dar has announced that the traffic restrictions around Serena Hotel and Red Zone have ended.

He thanked the residents of the twin cities for their cooperation.

In a post on X, he said, “I extend my heartfelt thanks to the people of Pakistan—especially the residents of Islamabad and Rawalpindi—for their patience and cooperation.

Traffic disruption around Serena Hotel and Red Zone

It is pertinent to mention that the recent visit of the Iranian delegation, along with US Vice President JD Vance and his team, a few weeks earlier in Islamabad, caused traffic disruption for residents.

The month of April witnessed heightened security alerts due to increased diplomatic activities.

Earlier, DC Islamabad said that Permission has been granted for all types of public and goods transport to enter the city.
