Punjab Information Minister Azma Bukhari claimed to have visited 14 roads and 26 intersections in Lahore to address complaints about road closures because of the PTI rally, documenting her observations with videos.
“I have visited approximately 14 roads and 26 intersections in Lahore, and the entire city is open,” she said at a press conference in Lahore earlier in the day.
“Not a single road, street, or intersection is blocked. Lahoris are carrying on with their daily activities as usual, and all major and minor markets in Lahore are open, with no obstacles present on any road, intersection, or street.”
Bukhari toured various areas, including Shimla Pahari, Mall Road, Kalyari Ground, Kalma Chowk, Ring Road, Bhata Chowk, Lalk Chowk, Liberty Chowk, MM Alam Road, Hussain Chowk, and several regions of Defence.
She also visited Ferozepur Road, Achharah Chowk, Jail Road, and Thokar Niaz Beg.

The information minister claimed that Shahdara Chowk, Thokar Niaz Beg, and Ring Road were open for traffic. She warned that if the Punjab government was blamed for “low turnout” at the rally, it would be the “ultimate level of shamelessness.”
She reiterated that no roads or intersections in Lahore were closed and urged Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Saif to “stop lying” and to quickly reach Kahna.
Bukhari added that there were no obstacles or containers in place. “The situation is clear from the camera’s perspective; there are no barriers. Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, you’re on your own—Gandapur, come and save the rally.”
