They are also demanding an end to frequent abduction in the region.

The abducted Hindu youths include Nagar Jaideep Kumar, Makki Jagdish Kumar, Dr Munir Naich, Sagar Kumar, Priya Kumari and others, reports The News International.

The sit-in was staged on the call of Hindu Panchayat, which suspended traffic flow leading to Punjab, Karachi and Peshawar, the newspaper reported.
