Pakistan: Several Balochistan towns observe strike on call of opposition parties against Imran Khan govt
Quetta: Several Balochistan towns, including Quetta, observe strike on Friday on the call of opposition parties against the government for allegedly ignoring the constituencies of opposition lawmakers in the budget for 2021-22 and the registration of an FIR against 17 legislators, media reports said.
All business and trade centres in Quetta and some other cities were closed, except some shops in the areas on the outskirts of Quetta, reports Dawn News.
Though it was not a wheel jam strike, traffic on roads in Quetta remained thin, the newspaper reported.
A large number of police were deployed to avoid any trouble.,
