Summary PTI and its allied parties continued sit-ins against NATO supply in 5 districts of KPK on 4th day.
PESHAWAR (Dunya News) - Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf (PTI) and its allied parties, including Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) resumed sit-ins in five districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa today (Tuesday) to block NATO supply.
Earlier, on the second day of protests, the PTI workers blocked NATO containers in five districts including Peshawar’s Ring Road, Khairabad, Dera Ismail Khan, Bannu and Charsadda interchange.
The PTI workers setup a camp at the Hayatabad Interchange and checked the documents of truck drivers headed toward Afghanistan as they passed through a toll booth.
PTI workers stopped Torkham-bound vehicles and after checking their documents allowed them to go. The checking of document of vehicles also caused huge traffic jam in the area.
Meanwhile, some unidentified persons clashed near a PTI protest camp on Ring Road in Hayatabad locality of Peshawar. Initial media reports said shots were fired near the camp.
However, police denied the reports, saying that two youths scuffled near the camp and later fled away.
“No shots were fired, police went after them but they managed to flee. We can’t say anything about their association with PTI, the incident is being investigated,” a senior police official spoke to reporters at the site.
Local PTI leaders also disavowed the men clashed near the camp.
