Parts of twin cities remain locked down despite uncertainty over US-Iran talks - Pakistan

District administrations in Rawalpindi and Islamabad have yet to decide on reopening closed areas around the Nur Khan Airbase, including roads, markets, and transportation routes. This has caused significant disruptions for residents, with Metro Bus, electric bus services, and goods transport suspended since April 19th. Residents are facing difficulties accessing essential supplies like water, food, and electricity, with Iesco resuming power cuts despite claims of no outages due to heightened security measures. The Oil Tankers Contractors Association has called for a two-to-three hour window for fuel supply during which tankers can replenish stations under official supervision.
