The protest saw large participation, with demonstrators raising slogans and blocking roads to draw attention to their grievances.

The escalation led to immediate intervention by law enforcement agencies to prevent further damage and maintain order.

Police on High Alert, Deployment Intensified

Authorities confirmed that senior police and administrative officials are present on the ground, closely monitoring the situation.

“The situation is being continuously monitored. Efforts are being made to persuade workers to maintain peace. Law and order is being maintained using minimal force,” officials said.
