On the other hand, hundreds of farmers have continued protest outside Punjab Assembly in Lahore over not getting promised package as per agriculture policy.
The farmers blocked main Mall Road that further created difficulties for the locals in transportation.
The protesters said that they would keep on protesting peacefully in Punjab according to their plan whereas they would also demonstrate in Islamabad on 29 September.
