The key question is whether a Rawalpindi Road Closure will happen tomorrow, as the Rawalpindi Central Traders Association has postponed its protest to Monday, February 17, 2026. The protest will be held in one of the busiest arteries in the city, which is Murree Road, and this will bring issues of traffic congestion and potential roadblocks
Why Are Traders Protesting?
Reports indicate that traders are protesting the artificial prices by the District Price Committee on the basic foodstuffs, the unwarranted sealing of stores, illicit challans and what they allege as discourteous conduct of the officials of the Punjab Enforcement and Regulation Authority. The leaders of the protest have threatened that the movement might spread to other larger chowks in the city should they not get their demands met.
Traffic Disruptions Expected
Murree Road and environs are expected to experience traffic congestion and road blockages. Commuters are advised to be ready to deal with such conditions. The traffic diversion plan has not been given a formal declaration yet, but there will be pronounced delays during rush hours. Then, tomorrow, will there be a roadblock in Rawalpindi? The disruptions seem very likely, although there has not been an official notification of the closure. One of the most important things that citizens have been advised to be aware of is updates before travelling, particularly using central routes, because whether roads be closed tomorrow in Rawalpindi is a major issue.
