Drivers of cargo trucks and JUI-F activists have briefly scuffled in Sindh's Ghotki district after the drivers protested losses they are suffering due to road blockades.

The JUI-F workers are staging a sit-in on the National Highway in Ghotki.

Truck drivers said they are suffering losses because their vehicles are standing due to the road blockade. In addition, they said the goods inside the trucks are getting spoiled and some have even been stolen.

A JUI-F volunteer at the scene was heard saying: "We are not responsible for any loss suffered by anyone during the dharna."
