Islamabad Barricaded as PTI March Costs Millions

Pakistani authorities have placed up to 2,000 shipping containers across Islamabad to block an opposition PTI march demanding jailed former Prime Minister Imran Khan's release. The march, delayed to October 4, has kept barricades up for nearly four weeks. Officials expect security costs to exceed 1 billion rupees ($3.6m), with container rental alone estimated at 46.5 million rupees daily.
