There is a planned demonstration in response to events in Gaza on Sunday, November 26 starting around 1:00 PM in Lahore. The demonstration is expected to occur between the Punjab Assembly and the Lahore Press Club on Shimla Hill Circle.  There may be up to several thousand participants, possibly causing traffic delays/detours due to closed or blocked roads in the vicinity of the demonstration.
