Quetta: A nationwide wheeljam, and shutterdown strike called by the opposition alliance Tehreek Tahafuz Ayeen-i-Pakistan (TTAP) was also observed on Sunday across Balochistan, Quetta as violent confrontations erupted between police and demonstrators in the capital while law enforcement used baton charges and teargas to disperse crowds protesting the 2024 election results.
The clashes, which saw dozens of political figures and activists arrested, were part of a province-wide strike that crippled daily life across Balochistan. The strike was organised by the Tehreek Tahafuz Ayeen-i-Pakistan (TTAP), a seven-party opposition coalition, to voice dissent over the outcome of the 2024 general elections.
In the provincial capital, protestors set tyres ablaze and obstructed major thoroughfares, including the western bypass national highway, Airport Road, and Sariab Road.
