The district administration has advised the former prime minister to use a bulletproof vehicle with a sunroof and windows shut to move to and from the venue of the rally, Minar-e-Pakistan.
The deputy commissioner has even advised the former prime minister not to visit Minar-e-Pakistan and address the public meeting over the phone, and if he does, the dais for his address must be shielded with a bulletproof glass screen.
However, the PTI did not alter its plan and announced that the rally will start at 8 pm as scheduled.
The PTI has been asked to install a backup electricity generator to avoid any untoward incident in case of a power shutdown.
MNA Shafqat Mehmood on Wednesday chaired a meeting of the Jalsa Committee to review arrangements for the public meeting. PTI leaders including MNA Hammad Azhar, MPAs Raja Yasir Humayyon, Dr. Yasmin Rashid, Musarrat Jamshed, Saadia Sohail, and former Punjab government spokesperson Hasaan Khawar visited the venue to review the arrangements.
In the light of further security concerns district administration also advised the organisers of the public gathering to ensure that unidentified persons are not allowed entry to the venue.
It is to be noted that PTI had held successful power shows at Minar-e-Pakistan and the one held on October 30, 2011, became the turning point in its struggle after which this party emerged as a major political force in the country.
