The march, day by day.

I'd heard some days ago that PTI had started their march from Lakki Marwat. Then I got busy and stopped following it. This week I realised they're still out there, and I had no idea where they'd got to, how long it had been, or where it was all going.

I didn't want to read ten news stories to find out. I wanted to watch it. So I made this for myself: the route on a real map, one day at a time, with who joined where and what the reports agree and disagree on. Scroll through it. At the end you can drag the timeline yourself.

Figured I'd share it here too.

Built from 52 reports in English, Urdu and Pashto, up to the evening of Fri 9 Oct 2026. Sources and the bits that don't add up are at the bottom of the map.
