KOHAT: The police on Saturday sent 16 people to jail and registered cases against 300 others for blocking the Shakardarra road during a protest against gas loadshedding here.

The people came out on the ShakardarraMianwali road, demanding end to gas loadshedding in a region, which is producing the commodity. Gas suspension and low pressure has caused misery to consumers, especially in the morning and the evening.

While no SNGPL official turned up to assure the protesters of ending gas outages, local police officials showed up and assured that the matter would be taken up with the authorities concerned. Correspondent
