The demonstrators believed that the government had altered the project’s map. Protesters and the district administration debated the price of land, but no agreement was made. They conducted a ‘sit-in’ in front of the Commissioner’s office before the complaint was filed.
Security officials declined to communicate with demonstrators and lawyers who wanted to meet with Commissioner Muhammad Mehmood. Protesters kept flags and placards in their hands and yelled anti-government slogans during the rally.

Malik Muhammad Altaf, Malik Muhammad Nadeem, Raja Aziz Kiani, Chaudhry Muhammad Javed, Malik Ibrar Hussain, Chaudhry Jahangir, and other protesters alleged that the government was snatching our property rather than buying it.
