PTI supporters flock to D-Chowk as heavy rain dampens impact of police’s tear gas shelling

PTI supporters have flocked to D-Chowk as heavy rain in Islamabad dampened the effect of tear gas shelling by the police.

A Dawn.com correspondent present at the scene said PTI protesters occupied D-Chowk as police were forced back after smoke from the shot tear gas shells flowed back over to the law enforcement personnel due to the strong gusty winds.

Law enforcement personnel later returned to D-Chowk after the rain subsided.

The PTI also shared footage of its supporters thronging D-Chowk.
