PESHAWAR: The federal government on Sunday decided to stop the supplies to Nato troops in Afghanistan for two days on April 23 and April 24, keeping in view Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf’s plan to stage a sit-in in Peshawar to protest against drone attacks in the tribal areas.

The provincial government has given directions for a security plan to ensure law and order during the PTI’s sit-in protest.
