 NAWABSHAH: Hundreds of angry people from the Rind tribe staged a sit-in and burnt tyres on the national highway to protest the killing of one of their tribesmen by the Syed tribe. The road was blocked and traffic was suspended for hours. According to the Rind tribe, their man was murdered by the Syeds over illegal occupation of government forestland in Sukhpur. The dispute between the two tribes has been a prolonged one and armed men from both the tribes had established pickets around the claimed land. Earlier, a group of Syeds demonstrated in front of the Nawabshah Press Club where they alleged that the Rinds had occupied forestland. The Rind displayed the body of their slain man on the national highway, burnt tyres and blocked the road. Demonstrators shouted slogans and demanded the immediate arrest of the killers. Police negotiated with the protesters and restored traffic.
