Punjab on Edge: Police and PTI Workers Clash in Multiple Cities

Clashes between police and PTI (Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf) workers continue in Rawalpindi and several other cities across Punjab. PTI supporters took to the streets in cities like Faisalabad, Rawalpindi, and Sheikhupura, attempting to hold rallies. In response, the police took strict action to disperse the protesters, leading to violent confrontations. The police used tear gas and baton charges to break up the gatherings. A similar scene unfolded on Sargodha Road in Faisalabad, where intense clashes broke out between police and PTI workers. The police resorted to baton charges and fired tear gas shells to control the situation. During the protests, PTI workers threw stones at the police, turning Sargodha Road into a battlefield. The police arrested PTI's Member of Provincial Assembly (MPA) Haji Basharat Dogar, who was leading the rally. The situation remained tense, and further clashes between the police and protesters erupted at various locations, escalating the unrest in the region. The ongoing conflict reflects the heightened political tensions and the growing divide between the government forces and opposition supporters in Punjab.
