SUKKUR: Members of press clubs in Sukkur and Ghotki districts held a demonstration and sit-in on National Highway on Friday to protest the kidnapping of journalist Hakim Abro.

Journalists from Sukkur, Daharki, Pano Akil, Rohri, Ubauro and others towns took part in the protest in Ghotki and expressed solidarity with their colleague.

On a request by Ghotki SSP Saqib Sultan to end the protest, a delegation of journalists led by Lala Asad Pathan informed him that despite a lapse of many days since the kidnapping, neither Mr Abro had been recovered not an FIR registered.
