The protests were held in several places in the cities including Ichhra, Multan Road, Township, Shahdara Morr, Begumkot, Johar Town, Bund Road, Mansoora Basti, Walton Road and Mughalpura.

Earlier on Sunday, Jamaat-e-Islami had observed Balochistan Solidarity Day in the capital Islamabad in support of demands of the local population for the ongoing protests in the port city of Gwadar.

The JI leader said that for the first time, women along with their infant children are also attending the protest demonstration in Gwadar. (ANI)
