Intercity bus services from Lahore were suspended on Sunday after city authorities sealed general bus terminals late Saturday night, stranding passengers traveling to various destinations including Islamabad and other regions of Punjab. Major private operators like Faisal Movers and Daewoo halted their operations due to reported transport restrictions, although motorway police stated that highways remained open for vehicular traffic and denied receiving orders to stop buses.
