Many people were seriously injured due to this.
People's anger against the police for failing to rescue the kidnapped businessman and his son about 25 days ago from the Katcha area of Kandhkot is coming out in the form of a protest.

Pakistan's Acting Religious Affairs Minister Aneeq Ahmed said on Thursday that the country is constantly making efforts to increase the number of Sikh and Hindu pilgrims from India. Ahmed said that there is an agreement between India and Pakistan for the arrival of 7,500 Sikh and 1,000 Hindu pilgrims every year. However, the number of Indian pilgrims has decreased in recent years due to the weakening of bilateral relations.
