Govt employees’ protest for pay raise in Quetta enters fifth day

Protest by Balochistan government employees in Quetta for 25 percent raise in their pay has now entered into its fifth day, reported 24NewsHD TV channel. 

A large number of government employees gathered at the Hockey Chowk, the site of the protest camp on Friday, as the deadlock between the provincial government and the employees persisted. 

Similarly, a large number of these protesters spent their night at the chowk designated for the protest. 

Due to the protest, routes leading to and exiting from the provincial capital’s Red Zone continued to remain closed for traffic.
