Traders of the city and cantonment areas of Rawalpindi on Saturday demanded the district administration and police to provide them with security on January 14, when Teheek-e-Minhajul Quran will launch its long march.
Traders’ unions of the city and cantonment areas collectively announced to participate in the long march.
Office bearers of the unions said they supported the smooth political and democratic process as this would be better for their business.
