Thousands of residents of Shahdara Bagh blocked the main Grand Trunk Road near match factory on Saturday for about three hours to protest against shortage of natural gas, which is affecting domestic consumers. The protesters were holding banners inscribed with anti-government slogans and demanded continuous supply of Sui Gas to the consumers.
Hundreds of vehicles remained stranded for hours due to the protest. Later, the protesters dispersed peacefully on the request of the administration.
