They protested at Noorshah Bridge against the alleged unfairness and burnt tires and blocked Head Muhammad Wala Multan Road for all kinds of traffic, which affected the flow of traffic for several hours. There are no men who cannot buy expensive flour due to poverty and the government comes every day to buy cheap flour, yet they spend the whole day and go home empty-handed, while the sales point shopkeeper is allegedly selling flour to hotels.
