ISLAMABAD: The Constitution Avenue turned into a battlefield when the police used force to disperse government employees staging protest demonstration seeking increase in their salaries.
The police resorted to baton charge and threw hundreds of teargas shells to disperse the agitating employees as tens of protesters were arrested and sent to lockups of different police stations.
At least 30 protesting employees were taken into custody under Section 16 of the Maintenance of Public Order Ordinance (MPO). The teargas shelling in the radius of 3 to 5 kilometre around the Constituted Avenue was so heavy that the people felt suffocation. All incoming roads including Islamabad Expressway and Motorway remained closed for hours. Islamabad Police fired extensive teargas at protesting government employees when they were heading towards the Parliament House.
