      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Authorities in Rawalpindi shut down shops, markets and petrol pumps around Adiala Jail on Tuesday as part of security measures ahead of PTI founder Imran Khan’s meeting with lawyers.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Educational institutions in the vicinity have also been closed as Section 144 remains in force across the city.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The main route leading to the prison, Adiala Road, has also been closed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Security officials warned that any violation of the order will be dealt with strictly.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;a id="list-of-lawyers" href="#list-of-lawyers" class="heading-permalink" aria-hidden="true" title="Permalink"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;List of lawyers&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Lawyers are scheduled to meet the PTI founder in Adiala Jail today, and a list of six lawyers has been sent to the jail administration.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The list included the names of PTI Chairman Barrister Gohar Ali Khan, lawyer Salman Akram Raja, Intezar Panjutha, Lal Badshah, Mubasher Rehman and Abdul Rehman Ranjha.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The party has directed its lawmakers, office-bearers and workers to gather outside the jail to show strength.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;a id="security-strengthened-at-checkpoints" href="#security-strengthened-at-checkpoints" class="heading-permalink" aria-hidden="true" title="Permalink"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Security strengthened at checkpoints&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As part of security measures, a water cannon has also been placed to take immediate action in case of violations of Section 144.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Additional police personnel have been deployed at Gorakhpur and Dahgal checkpoints, and barricades outside the jail have been reinforced.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;SSP Operations Tariq Malik said that no one would be allowed to break the law.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;a id="fixed-days-for-meeting" href="#fixed-days-for-meeting" class="heading-permalink" aria-hidden="true" title="Permalink"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Fixed days for meeting&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The authorities have fixed Tuesdays and Thursdays for meetings with Imran Khan.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Lawyers, family members and listed visitors are allowed to visit Khan on these days.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Last week, Imran Khan met his sister Uzma Khan after a month-long break.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;She later told reporters that Khan’s health was satisfactory, although he appeared angry and claimed he was being subjected to mental torture.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Adviser to the Prime Minister Rana Sanaullah said the meeting took place on the condition that there would be no press talk afterwards.&lt;/p&gt;
