TLP workers enter Gujranwala as protest enters second week

2.) A province of Pakistain ruled by one of the Sharif brothers
3.) A province of India. It is majority (60 percent) Sikh and Hindoo (37 percent), which means it has relatively few Moslem riots....

Chief Minister Usman Buzdar on Thursday gave a free hand to the law enforcement agencies (LEAs) to deal with the ongoing violent mostly peaceful protests by the banned Tehrik-e-Labbaik Pakistain (TLP).

"The government cannot allow anyone to play with the lives and properties of citizens and it is the responsibility of the government to maintain law and order and protect public property and the government will fulfil its responsibility in all circumstances," he underscored as he directed the LEAs to take all possible measures to maintain the law and order situation in the province.

a rally comprising thousands of workers of the proscribed TLP left Kamoke and entered Gujranwala city on Thursday afternoon, as life in the areas surrounding its route continued to remain disrupted. Some 4,000 TLP workers travelled on Grand Truck Road in large trucks and buses along with their supplies, as stick-wielding activists of the group guarded the procession from all sides.

Soon after reaching the inner city, the TLP protesters set up camp on GT Road, blocking the thoroughfare. Markets in the vicinity were also closed down to avoid any untoward situation. The protesters said they would spend the night in Gujranwala before leaving for Islamabad via Wazirabad and Gujrat in the morning.

A heavy deployment of law enforcers has also been reported at different points with measures being taken to stop the rally before it reaches Islamabad.

Due to the security situation in the region, Pakistain Railways has also cancelled several scheduled trains in view of possible sit-ins in Islamabad by the proscribed right-wing outfit.

Railway operations between Lahore and Rawalpindi have been disrupted and all trains between the two cities have also been cancelled.

The route of the Tezgam Express locomotive from Lahore to Rawalpindi has been diverted from Lahore to Gujrat instead of its usual Lahore to Faisalabad

via Rawalpindi route.

A day earlier, the federal government had announced the deployment of Rangers in Punjab for 60 days after at least four coppers were martyred and over 250 sustained injuries in festivities between participants of the march and law enforcers near Sadhoki.
