Islamabad police have been equipped with modern net launchers as part of preparations for an anticipated protest by the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) party.
According to a statement from the federal government, these non-lethal devices will be used to manage protesters during the march, which is expected to pass through the capital.

The use of such technology is expected to minimize the risk of physical confrontation and maintain a peaceful environment during the protest.
While the exact date of the PTI march has not been specified, the government’s preparation with these non-lethal devices suggests a high likelihood of the event taking place soon.
