The port road is closed as the fishermen have been protesting in favour of their demands from the last 30 days.

It is to be noted that the chief secretary Balochistan had reached the area yesterday to monitor the situation amid protest.

It is to be noted that tens of thousands of people, including women and children, marched on the main roads and streets of Gwadar on Friday in support of their movement launched for the rights of the people of Gwadar.
