Balochistan, Feb. 28 -- Dozens of impoverished and deserving women staged a protest in Quetta on Thursday, blocking the Quetta-Karachi National Highway in front of the Deputy Commissioner's House, according to a report published by The Express Tribune (TET).

As per TET, the demonstrators , many of whom depend on government assistance to feed their families during the holy month of Ramazan, accused provincial authorities of failing to distribute the Chief Minister's announced Ramazan ration package. The women alleged that despite making repeated visits to the Deputy Commissioner's office and submitting formal applications, essential food items such as flour, rice, cooking oil, and other groceries have not reached those in need.
