New Delhi: Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan, was gripped by fear and chaos once again after a powerful explosion rocked the Taralai area. The blast occurred at the Imambargah Khadijat-ul-Kubra, shattering the calm atmosphere within seconds and sending shockwaves across the neighborhood. What was a peaceful setting quickly turned into scenes of panic, screams, and people running in all directions to save their lives.
Eyewitnesses reported that the explosion was extremely loud and could be heard from a considerable distance. The force of the blast caused confusion and terror among people present at the religious site and in nearby streets. Residents described scenes of stampede-like situations as people fled the area in fear, while nearby lanes were engulfed in panic. The sudden nature of the incident created widespread anxiety across the locality.
Soon after the explosion, police, security forces, and rescue teams arrived at the scene. Emergency response operations were launched immediately, with authorities searching the premises for injured individuals and assessing damage. Ambulances and medical teams were placed on standby to deal with any casualties. As a precautionary measure, the entire area surrounding the Imambargah was sealed, and public movement was restricted.
Considering the seriousness of the situation, authorities imposed emergency measures across Islamabad. Security agencies cordoned off the affected area and intensified monitoring of all entry and exit points. Strict checking was enforced to prevent any further untoward incidents. Officials stated that the emergency decision was taken to ensure public safety and to maintain law and order in the capital.

The administration has urged people to remain calm, avoid spreading rumors, and rely only on official updates.
The reason behind the explosion remains unknown.

Following the incident, Islamabad has been placed on high alert. Security at religious places, crowded locations, and other sensitive areas has been tightened.
