ISLAMABAD, Nov 24 (INP): District administration of Islamabad has issued a final warning to protesters camped out at the Faizabad Interchange to disperse, threatening to take action if the order was not heeded. In a new notification, issued by the district magistrate on Friday evening, the religious hardliners demanding the resignation of Law Minister Zahid Hamid have been ordered to disperse by midnight. In the missive, the district magistrate noted that for two weeks the protesters have illegally occupied the Faizabad Bridge, which connects Rawalpindi and Islamabad. The notification recalls that the participants have been asked to disperse thrice before but to no avail. "The Parade Ground located near the Faizabad Interchange has been allocated for protests," the notification states. If the participants do not vacate the area by midnight, an operation will be launched against them, the District Magistrate has warned. "If an operation is launched, the onus will be on the participants and leaders of the protest," the notification further warns. INP/AK
