PROTEST: Several candidates staged a demonstration outside the press club here on Tuesday after they were stopped from appearing in a pre-interview written test being held in a government high school.

They told Dawn that they were supposed to appear in the test but they got there around 10 to 15 minutes late and were not allowed to sit in the test.

They said that they reached there late because they had faced difficulty in locating the school.
