Summary Rejects news as fake, urges citizens not to heed such disinformation

ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – The district administration of the federal capital has rejected news as fake circulating on social media about the closure of shops and bus terminals in the federal capital.

The statement issued by the administration clarified that no orders have been issued for the closure of businesses or transport terminals in the city and urged the citizens not to pay attention to such unconfirmed news.

Shortly before this denial, news spread rapidly on social media and in some circles that all markets and bus stations were being closed in Islamabad due to security concerns for the second round of Iran-US talks.
