LAHORE: Eight members of the Sikh Sangat Pakistan blocked the road in front of the Lahore Press Club, Shimla Pahari, to protest against the attack on Gurdawara Janam Asthan, Nankana Sahib, by students of a local college on Saturday morning.

The road remained blocked for an hour, creating traffic problems on Davis Road, Empress Road, Egerton Road and Abbot Road. The protesters, however, allowed ambulances to pass through the blockade. The local police negotiated with the Sikh protesters and took them to the Race Course Police Station where the senior superintendent of police for Sheikhupura, Shahid Iqbal, told them on the telephone that 500 policemen had been sent to Nanakana Sahib to protect Sikh life and property.
