BAHAWALPUR: Members of the civil society, journalists, traders and representatives of non-governmental organisations staged a protest demonstration outside the Bahawalpur Press Club on Tuesday against the killings in Myanmar.

Four women and a child were among those killed in the incident. The injured were immediately shifted to Alipur hospital for treatment.
