Authorities in Rawalpindi suspended all transport ahead of a possible visit by Donald Trump to Islamabad for US-Iran talks. The sudden move has triggered chaos, stranding residents and students, disrupting travel, and raising concerns over security-driven restrictions across the twin cities.

The Deputy Commissioner of Rawalpindi issued a directive ahead of Donald Trump’s possible visit to Islamabad for a second round of talks on the US-Iran ceasefire. The move has brought the city to a standstill, leaving residents grappling with an abrupt and sweeping transport shutdown.

Taking to social media platform X, the DC said, “All private, public and goods transport in Rawalpindi is hereby suspended with immediate effect. Further updates will be shared.”

While no official confirmation of the visit has been issued, preparations suggest authorities are bracing for a major diplomatic event.

According to Pakistani media reports, entry points via major highways have been blocked, inter-city transport halted, and key terminals shut, leaving nearly a crore people struggling to manage daily life.
