Roadblocks setup in Lahore as PTI set for Minar-i-Pakistan power show.

Authorities have blocked various roads, including entry and exit points, in the Punjab capital to thwart the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf's (PTI) public gathering at Minar-i-Pakistan tonight.

The political show comes despite postponement of elections in Punjab as Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) has excused for the holding polls due to financial and security constraints.

All roads leading to the Minar-i-Pakistan have been barricaded by parking trucks carrying shipping containers while Ravi bridge and Thokar Niaz Baig - the two major entry and exit points - have also been closed for traffic. The measures to prevent the political gathering have caused hurdles for commuters, who are heading to their jobs.

The areas where containers have been placed include Shah Alam Market, Bansawala Bazar, Railways Stations, and others.
