GILGIT, Oct 28: Traffic was suspended for almost four hours between Gilgit and Hunza when hundreds of activists took out Al Quds Day processions from different points on the Karakoram Highway on Friday.
Activists in Jutal, Nagar and Danyore towns called for release of their detained leaders and withdrawal of paramilitary forces from Gilgit.
They torched an effigy of US President George Bush and condemned the US-Israel nexus for occupying Palestinian land.
The authorities lifted curfew in Gilgit for three hours (from 3pm to 6pm) on Friday.
