Balochistan [Pakistan], April 6 (ANI): Pakistan's southwestern province of Balochistan has been cut off from other parts of the country due to the ongoing demonstrations by government employees demanding salary hikes.
Dawn reported that hundreds of vehicles, including trucks and passenger coaches, were stuck on Monday on various roads linking Balochistan with Sindh and Punjab.
"We were compelled to close the whole of Balochistan today. We have been in touch with the whole of Balochistan since morning. The talks continued till midnight. Many issues were discussed with us. After 12 o'clock, the government tried to spoil the talks by taking a U-turn," said the leaders of government employees' unions on Monday.
