RAWALPINDI - The decision of PML-N MNA Malik Shakil Awan of awarding grant to the supporters of PML-Q, the arch foe of PML-N, to renovate a street at Babu Lal Hussain Road Ward 2, Ratta Amral, has led to a fight, leaving fifteen people severely injured here on Monday.

According to details, the Ward 2 of Ratta Amral, falls in the constituency of PML-N MNA Malik Shakil Awan, turned into battlefield when the supporters of PML-Q dig up Street No 3 of Babu Lal Hussain Road to carpet it. Some residents of the same street, who were diehard supporters of PML-N, came out from their houses and barred the PML-Q persons from doing so saying the street was in a good condition and did not need renovation. On this, the PML-Q supporters sped up their work to destroy the street, which made the PML-N workers angry and the brawl occurred. The men of both sides hit each other with spades, bricks and sticks wounding 15 persons.

The sources also said that both the supporters of PML-N and PML-Q were living in the same street and men of PML-Q tried to dig up the street which made angry the supporters of PML-N and they started quarrelling with them.
