- In the Faizabad area, police directed hotels, restaurants, and hostels to close immediately, requiring owners to submit affidavits confirming their buildings were vacated by tonight.
- Party leadership is engaging with the Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl and the Pakistan Peoples Party to build opposition consensus, while a proposal to convene an All Parties Conference between October 6 and 10 remains under consideration.
