Protests Erupt in Shangla Over Terrorism and Lawlessness

Protests have erupted in Shangla, a district in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, over the deteriorating law and order situation and terrorist attacks in the area. The protests, organized by the Shangla Action Committee, drew thousands of locals, leaders of different political parties, student federations, Anjuman Tajran, transporters, elders, and general public. The demonstrators are demanding peace in Shangla and criticizing the law enforcement agencies' failure to establish the government's writ. The protests come in the wake of a recent gun attack on the Gunangar police post, which has further exacerbated the situation. The protesters are blocking a key road to press their demands, bringing life to a standstill in the area. The situation in Shangla has been tense for some time, with the local population expressing frustration over the lack of effective measures to address the issue of terrorism and lawlessness. The protests are a manifestation of the community's desperation and anger, and it remains to be seen how the situation will unfold in the coming days.
