The protest site and adjoining roads were reopened for traffic following the conclusion of the demonstration. The sit-in by PTI members of the National Assembly and senators at Parliament Lodges has also ended.
However, the sit-in by opposition MNAs at Parliament House continues, with Opposition Leader Mahmood Khan Achakzai, Senate Opposition Leader Allama Nasir Abbas, Asad Qaiser and PTI Secretary General Salman Akram Raja participating.

Speaking to the media, PTI Chairman Barrister Gohar Ali Khan said Achakzai would announce the end of the sit-in. “We are waiting for the founder’s medical report,” Gohar said, adding that whatever the report contained would be presented publicly.
The sit-in is linked to concerns over former premier and PTI founder Imran Khan’s health. On Sunday, a five-member team of specialist doctors conducted a detailed medical examination at Adiala Jail in Rawalpindi. No PTI leaders were present despite a government offer to allow them to witness the check-up.
Adiala Jail Superintendent Sajid Baig said a team of specialists visited the jail with medical equipment, medicines and other supplies to conduct Imran’s eye examination. The check-up was carried out under the supervision of a two-member medical board, he said.
The opposition lawmakers’ demonstration began on Friday and has continued despite government assurances. Monday marked the fourth day of leaders conducting sit-ins outside Parliament House and K-P House, demanding Imran be provided urgent medical treatment for his eye condition.
Lawmakers, led by Achakzai and Abbas, have vowed the sit-in would not end until Imran is shifted for specialist care. Protesters have cited reports claiming his right-eye vision has deteriorated significantly and have demanded treatment in the presence of his family and personal physicians.

Meanwhile, the supply of essential commodities has been disrupted as PTI workers have blocked major highways linking K-P with Punjab over the past four days. This has sparked concerns over shortages as Ramazan approaches.
The Peshawar Motorway remained closed for a third day from the Mardan Rashakai Interchange, while the motorway at Swabi was also shut due to protests, a Motorway Police spokesperson said. However, the Peshawar–Charsadda Motorway remained open, with traffic allowed from the Chach and Ghazi interchanges.
The sit-ins have also targeted key routes, including GT Road at Attock Bridge, Khushalgarh in Kohat and roads in Dera Ismail Khan leading to Punjab. The blockades have effectively isolated K-P from Punjab, a major source of goods such as flour, rice and pulses.
