More than 100 protesters, including former district bar association president, Chaudhry Bilal Ashraf, have been detained for one month.
The order came after a report in this regard was sent by Faisalabad City Police Officer (CPO) Usman Akram Gondal to the deputy commissioner.
As soon as the police received the detention orders of the protesters who had been arrested from different places, they were transferred to the central jail.
According to sources, the charges against the detained people were not specified in the report.
Meanwhile, dozens of police officials have been deployed at various locations, including the regional police officer’s (RPO), CPO’s and Intelligence Bureau offices, and the residence of Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah.
Police have also been posted at the district and regional Election Commission offices.
A letter reportedly has been sent to the relevant authorities to notify them of the increased security arrangements.
