The Union Transport has staged a protest on the main highway connecting Balochistan and Punjab in protest against a recent terrorist attack in the Rara Sham area of Musakhel district.
The protest has caused long queues of vehicles on both sides of the highway, disrupting traffic flow.
The protest comes after terrorists stopped trucks and passenger buses at Rara Sham, identified 23 passengers, and shot them dead. They also set several vehicles on fire.
The Union Transport protest, which has been ongoing for the past four hours, has brought traffic to a standstill. Passengers are facing severe difficulties due to the long queues and disruption in transportation.
